Frequently asked questions about nilk.dot

Can a licensee or assignee use a trademark for a .PAY registration for digital wallets?

Trademark owners can register matching .PAY names during the priority/Sunrise path if they meet TMCH/SMD and identical-match rules. Start at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. If you are not a trademark holder, use the pre-order path for broader access instead.

How does securing nilk.dot reassure investors and partners about NicNames?

Owning nilk.dot shows investors and partners that NicNames actively controls its payment-facing identity and takes impersonation risk seriously. A clearly held nilk.dot name on a payment-purpose TLD signals operational maturity. Secure it at https://domain.pay/register.

As a fintech founder, can I pre-register a .PAY name without a trademark?

Yes. If you do not have a matching trademark, use domain.pay to pre-order a first-day registration attempt for broader availability: https://domain.pay/register. A pre-order is not a guarantee; the name may become unavailable, premium, reserved or blocked before submission.

Who can claim nilk.dot during the trademark sunrise phase?

During sunrise, only holders of validated trademarks with a TMCH-issued SMD matching the name can register nilk.dot ahead of the general public. If nilk.dot matches your mark, prepare your SMD to claim it. Otherwise you'll pre-order nilk.dot in the standard phase via https://domain.pay/register.

Is registering .PAY a replacement for trademark monitoring for secure payment links?

No. Registering .PAY is not a replacement for trademark monitoring, takedowns or fraud controls. It can still reduce customer confusion around your official payment destination. Start by checking key names through domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register.

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.
