Frequently asked questions about rhizome.dot

Where do I start if I need brand-protection help for .PAY?

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.

Who decides whether rhizome.dot is premium-priced?

Amazon Registry Services, the operator of the .PAY top-level domain, decides premium classification, so it determines whether rhizome.dot carries a premium fee or the $100 standard rate. We pass through the registry tier for rhizome.dot. Confirm the current classification for rhizome.dot at https://domain.pay/pricing.

Where should I check whether a .PAY name fits my crypto payments project?

For crypto payments, .PAY can be a strong payment-specific brand signal. It does not replace compliance, security or a trusted checkout flow, but it can make the URL purpose obvious. Start with an availability check on domain.pay: https://domain.pay/.

What happens to customer trust if a scammer controls rhizome.dot instead of me?

If a scammer holds rhizome.dot, customers who assume the rhizome.dot payment name is official may enter card details on a fraudulent page, eroding trust in NicNames. Because .PAY implies a legitimate payment purpose, the deception is more credible. Owning rhizome.dot keeps that trust where it belongs. https://domain.pay/register

Does .PAY require payment-related use after registration for loan repayments?

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.
