Frequently asked questions about orkel.dot

Can I use nameservers and DNS like other domains with .PAY for BNPL checkout?

After registration, plan DNS, SSL, redirects, security monitoring and payment-page controls as you would for a production domain. Start by securing the .PAY name through domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. A domain alone does not make a checkout secure.

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

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

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

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 long does TMCH validation take before I can register orkel.dot?

TMCH validation timing depends on the Clearinghouse, not on NicNames, so begin the process well before you intend to claim orkel.dot. Only after validation completes do you receive the SMD file needed for priority on orkel.dot. Plan ahead so your SMD is ready when the priority phase opens. Prepare your registration at https://domain.pay/register.

Could a .PAY domain be suspended for not being used for payments for a mobile wallet team?

Yes. The LRP policy says .PAY LRP names must be used in connection with payment-related services, and failure to demonstrate such use may lead to suspension or cancellation. Check the current path at 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.
