Frequently asked questions about russell.dot
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.
How do I avoid losing russell.dot to a different trademark holder?
To reduce the risk of losing russell.dot, record your russell.dot mark in the TMCH and submit your SMD as soon as the priority phase opens. If another validated holder also claims russell.dot, the registry's rules decide, so acting promptly matters. Prepare your SMD-backed claim at https://domain.pay/register.
What date matters most if I want a .PAY name without a trademark?
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.
Can a partner registrar like NicNames help me register russell.dot?
Yes. domain.pay works with partner registrar NicNames to handle the back-end registration of russell.dot within the .PAY registry. You place your pre-order or priority request for russell.dot through domain.pay, and NicNames processes it. Start your russell.dot order at https://domain.pay/register.
When does the .PAY LRP1 period begin when choosing merchant.pay?
ICANN currently lists .PAY Limited Registration Period 1 from July 20, 2026 to February 1, 2027. LRP1 has payment-transaction eligibility and use restrictions. Check your domain path through 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.
