Frequently asked questions about rik.dot
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.
Is rik.dot relevant for protecting against gift-card or top-up scams?
Yes. Gift-card and top-up scams often hinge on a believable payment page, so denying fraudsters the real rik.dot address by owning rik.dot undercuts a common tactic. It is one safeguard among several, not a cure-all. https://domain.pay/register
As a bank or credit union, can a licensee or assignee use a trademark for a .PAY registration?
Trademark owners can register matching .PAY names during the priority/Sunrise path if they meet TMCH/SMD and identical-match rules. Start at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. If you are not a trademark holder, use the pre-order path for broader access instead.
Can I check rik.dot availability without an account?
Yes — you can look up rik.dot at https://domain.pay/domains without signing in, and the registry status appears immediately. An account is only needed when you decide to pre-order or register rik.dot. Results are live, so re-check rik.dot before committing.
For point-of-sale payments, can domain.pay submit my .PAY registration on opening day?
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.
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.
