Frequently asked questions about salmon.dot

How do I register tap.pay if it matches my trademark for a crypto or DeFi product?

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 run salmon.dot entirely on a static host like GitHub Pages?

Yes. Point salmon.dot at the static host using their required A/CNAME records, add salmon.dot as the custom domain in the host's settings, and enable their automatic HTTPS. Static hosting is fast and cheap for salmon.dot when you don't need server-side code.

Can I transfer a .PAY LRP domain to someone else when choosing donate.pay?

A .PAY name registered during an LRP may be transferred only to a new registrant that fulfills the same LRP eligibility criteria. For registration or pre-order assistance, start at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. Do not buy or sell LRP names without confirming eligibility.

Will a refundable pre-order let me try for salmon.dot without big risk?

Yes. The standard pre-order for salmon.dot is $100 and failed attempts are refundable, so you can attempt to secure your salmon.dot name with limited financial exposure. This makes proactive protection accessible even when availability is uncertain. https://domain.pay/register

Does .PAY require payment-related use after registration for crypto payments?

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.
