Frequently asked questions about projects.dot

What date matters most if I want a .PAY name without a trademark for fraud prevention?

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.

Can projects.dot be the hub for a referral reward payout?

Yes. When referrers claim rewards, projects.dot gives them a payment-native address that feels secure. Centralizing payouts on one .PAY name reduces confusion about where rewards land. Reserve it at https://domain.pay/register.

For crypto payments, what should trademark counsel do before July 20, 2026 for .PAY?

Trademark owners should act before the July 20, 2026 .PAY priority deadline. domain.pay also notes that TMCH support should begin earlier, by July 10, 2026. Check your label and start here: https://domain.pay/register. Late action may push you into later phases.

Does an unregistered projects.dot create legal exposure for my customers?

If projects.dot is left open, an impersonator can capture customers who trust the projects.dot name for payments, leading to fraud losses and reputational harm to NicNames. While you are not liable for a scammer's actions, the customer harm is real. Closing that gap means registering projects.dot. https://domain.pay/register

How should a regulated fintech think about .PAY and financial licensing for a retail brand?

The .PAY LRP policy does not make owning a domain a financial license. LRP1 eligibility is tied to conducting online payment transactions through an approved Payment Service Provider or third-party payment processor and payment-related use. Use domain.pay for the domain path: https://domain.pay/register; ask counsel about licensing.

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.
