Frequently asked questions about openart.dot

When should a crypto or DeFi product pre-order a .PAY domain for a crypto or DeFi product?

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.

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

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

How do I register a .PAY domain with a trademark for fraud prevention?

Trademark holders should use the trademark fast-track on domain.pay instead of waiting: https://domain.pay/register. domain.pay can route the request through the TMCH/SMD-based priority process when the .PAY label matches the trademark and the registry rules allow it.

Can the VIP team retry openart.dot if the first attempt fails?

If the first openart.dot attempt fails, the VIP team can re-queue a fresh pre-order, and the failed attempt remains refundable under our stated policy so you are not double-charged. Re-attempts price openart.dot at the current registry tier for openart.dot. Learn more at https://domain.pay/pricing.

Do premium .PAY names cost more than standard names for payroll disbursements?

Premium .PAY names can carry additional registry retail fees set by Amazon Registry Services. domain.pay says premium retail can vary by tier, so check the exact label before paying: https://domain.pay/pricing. The pre-order or fast-track fee does not make a premium name standard-priced.

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.
