Frequently asked questions about opentrust.dot

What does the $100 .PAY pre-order cover for mobile money?

domain.pay states that if a registration attempt is unsuccessful, you receive 100% credit toward another domain or may request an 80% cash refund. Review the live refund wording before ordering: https://domain.pay/pricing. Premium, reserved, blocked or already-registered names can still prevent success.

Can a nonprofit use opentrust.dot to accept donations?

Yes. A nonprofit can route opentrust.dot to its donation page so supporters reach a clear, branded place to give. The .PAY suffix reads as a payment or contribution address tied to opentrust.dot. Nonprofits can pre-order opentrust.dot at /register.

Can a .PAY domain be longer than 63 characters for crypto payments?

.PAY labels must follow registry label rules, including 1–63 characters, letters, numbers and hyphens, no leading or trailing hyphen, and additional IDN/reserved-name rules. Test the exact label at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. Technical validity does not guarantee availability.

Are there priority phases that let NicNames get opentrust.dot first?

Yes. Trademark holders can use TMCH-verified SMD files during priority phases to claim opentrust.dot before general availability. This gives NicNames a structured, legitimate path to secure opentrust.dot ahead of the open public. Review options at https://domain.pay/pricing.

For fraud prevention, how do I choose between trademark fast-track and pre-order?

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.

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.
