Frequently asked questions about paradigm.dot

Where can I see already-registered .PAY domains for crypto payments?

Use domain.pay to search the live label and review already-registered .PAY examples: https://domain.pay/domains. If your first choice is already registered or not available, domain.pay can help you browse alternatives or pre-order a different name.

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

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

When is broader .PAY public registration expected for point-of-sale payments?

Broader .PAY access is tied to the post-LRP period around February 2027, subject to registry and registrar confirmation. If you do not have a trademark, use domain.pay to pre-order a first-day attempt: https://domain.pay/register.

Why does the .PAY launch protect trademarks first for paradigm.dot?

The launch protects trademarks first because ICANN's framework reserves the sunrise phase for brand owners, letting them claim paradigm.dot before the public to prevent infringement. General availability follows for everyone else. Position for paradigm.dot at https://domain.pay/register.

Should I defensively register my brand in .PAY for card processing?

If your brand accepts payments, registering the exact .PAY label can be a practical defensive step. Use domain.pay to check and start the priority or pre-order path: https://domain.pay/register. Also keep trademark monitoring and security controls in place.

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.
