Frequently asked questions about qixels.dot

How do I register a .PAY domain as a startup for crypto payments?

Start at domain.pay, search the label, then choose the right path: trademark fast-track if you qualify, or pre-order for a first-day attempt when broader access opens. Use this page: https://domain.pay/register. Registration is subject to registry rules and availability.

Can two parties claim qixels.dot at the same time?

Yes, qixels.dot can be contested when multiple parties seek it at general availability, which is why first-day pre-orders matter. If a contested attempt fails, your pre-order is refundable per policy. domain.pay explains how contested names resolve at https://domain.pay/pricing.

When is broader .PAY public registration expected for online checkout?

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.

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

No. A TMCH record validates your trademark and yields an SMD file, but it does not by itself give you qixels.dot. You must still submit that SMD through NicNames during the priority phase to actually claim qixels.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 when choosing merchant.pay?

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.

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.
