Frequently asked questions about riess.dot

Is .PAY Sunrise first-come, first-served for trademark holders for crypto payments?

.PAY Sunrise is a Start-Date Sunrise, so eligible trademark registrations are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis when policy requirements are met. Start the request at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. Waiting can increase the risk that another eligible party gets the matching label first.

Will riess.dot help a course creator sell programs?

A course creator can sell cohorts and downloads on riess.dot, sending students to a trusted, payment-native checkout. It reads more credibly in an email or ad than a generic platform URL. Begin at https://domain.pay/register.

For digital wallets, how do I register a .PAY domain with a trademark?

Trademark holders should use the trademark fast-track on domain.pay instead of waiting: https://domain.pay/register. domain.pay can route the request through the TMCH/SMD-based priority process when the .PAY label matches the trademark and the registry rules allow it.

Will I get refunded if my pre-order for riess.dot fails?

Yes. If your pre-order for riess.dot does not succeed, the standard $100 pre-order attempt is refundable, so a failed attempt does not cost you. That makes it safe to pre-order riess.dot and a backup in parallel. Pre-order at https://domain.pay/register.

As a crypto or DeFi product, when should a crypto or DeFi product pre-order a .PAY domain?

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. Re-confirm dates before publishing if the registry updates its schedule.

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.
