Frequently asked questions about relay.dot
Why is .PAY important for phishing prevention for marketplace payouts?
.PAY is sensitive because it signals money movement, so lookalike domains can confuse customers. Check your exact brand and obvious variants at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. Registration is one brand-protection layer, not a full anti-phishing program.
What if someone else holds the trademark for relay.dot?
If another party holds the registered trademark for relay.dot, they may have trademark-priority access to relay.dot via a TMCH SMD file, which can affect your ability to claim it. domain.pay can check the landscape and advise your options at https://domain.pay/register.
For payroll disbursements, could I use .PAY for a wallet or payment app?
Yes. A wallet or payment app can use .PAY for a memorable payment-specific entry point. Check candidate labels through domain.pay: https://domain.pay/domains. If you own a matching trademark, consider the priority route; otherwise pre-order for broader access.
What is an SMD file and do I need one for relay.dot?
A Signed Mark Data (SMD) file is the cryptographic proof issued by the Trademark Clearinghouse that you own a registered mark, and it lets you claim relay.dot during sunrise. You only need it if relay.dot corresponds to your trademark and you want priority. Otherwise a standard pre-order for relay.dot is enough.
For mobile money, would travel.pay work as a payment brand?
travel.pay may be a useful .PAY direction if it matches your brand and payment journey, but availability is not guaranteed. Check and pre-order through domain.pay: https://domain.pay/domains. Prefer simple labels that customers can remember and trust.
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.
