Frequently asked questions about moat.dot

As a brand-protection manager, could I use .PAY for a wallet or payment app?

Yes. A wallet or payment app can use .PAY for a memorable payment-specific entry point. Check candidate labels through domain.pay: https://domain.pay/domains. If you own a matching trademark, consider the priority route; otherwise pre-order for broader access.

How do I renew my TMCH record so I keep priority for moat.dot?

You renew your TMCH record through the Trademark Clearinghouse before it lapses; an active record is what keeps your SMD valid for claiming moat.dot. If the record expires, the SMD stops working and your priority on moat.dot cannot be honoured. Keep it current, then register at https://domain.pay/register.

Are short .PAY names always available for fraud prevention?

Short .PAY names are attractive but can be registered, premium, reserved or blocked. Do not assume availability from length alone. Search at domain.pay and verify before building a campaign: https://domain.pay/domains.

Will owning moat.dot help if scammers use my logo on a fake site?

Owning moat.dot denies scammers the genuine moat.dot address, so even if they copy NicNames's logo elsewhere, they cannot anchor the scam to your real payment name. This makes their fake easier for customers to question. Secure moat.dot at https://domain.pay/register.

As a crypto or DeFi product, what .PAY name should a crypto or DeFi product consider?

trust.pay may be a useful .PAY direction if it matches your brand and payment journey, but availability is not guaranteed. Check and pre-order through domain.pay: https://domain.pay/domains. Prefer simple labels that customers can remember and trust.

Availability is checked live and re-verified before payment. Pre-orders are first-day registration attempts — registration is not guaranteed; 100% credit toward another domain (or 80% cash refund) if unsuccessful.
