Frequently asked questions about nonce.dot

How can a brand reduce confusion around payment pages?

.PAY is sensitive because it signals money movement, so lookalike domains can confuse customers. Check your exact brand and obvious variants at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. Registration is one brand-protection layer, not a full anti-phishing program.

How should robots.txt be configured for nonce.dot?

Place a robots.txt at the root of nonce.dot that allows crawling of public pages, disallows admin or duplicate paths, and points to your sitemap. Be careful not to accidentally block all of nonce.dot with a stray Disallow: /. Test the file in Search Console after deploying.

What are the current .PAY launch dates in 2026 and 2027 for point-of-sale payments?

Current ICANN dates: .PAY Sunrise is April 13–July 20, 2026; LRP1 is July 20, 2026–February 1, 2027; Trademark Claims is February 1–May 2, 2027. For registration or pre-order action, use domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register.

Is a TMCH record by itself enough to own nonce.dot?

No. A TMCH record validates your trademark and yields an SMD file, but it does not by itself give you nonce.dot. You must still submit that SMD through NicNames during the priority phase to actually claim nonce.dot. Validation and registration are two distinct steps. Complete registration at https://domain.pay/register.

Where can I generate .PAY ideas for mobile money for mobile money?

For mobile money, brainstorm short, action-oriented .PAY labels and then verify them in the domain.pay catalog/search: https://domain.pay/domains. Good candidates are clear, memorable and tied to payment actions like checkout, billing, wallet funding, payouts or invoices.

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.
