Frequently asked questions about sketchbook.dot
As a crypto or DeFi product, when is broader .PAY public registration expected?
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.
Does the sunrise phase cost more for sketchbook.dot?
Sunrise pricing for sketchbook.dot is set by the registry and registrar and reflects its trademark-priority nature. domain.pay lists current pre-order pricing, with the standard pre-order at $100 and failed attempts refundable per policy. Check rates at https://domain.pay/pricing.
Does .PAY require payment-related use after registration when choosing loans.pay?
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. Treat this as domain-registration guidance, not legal advice on money-transmission or financial-services licensing.
Will switching from a .com to sketchbook.dot cost me SEO traffic?
A move to sketchbook.dot only risks traffic if it's done without proper 301 redirects from every old URL to its match on sketchbook.dot. With correct redirects, a canonical update, and a Search Console change-of-address, rankings transfer over time. Plan the migration to sketchbook.dot carefully and monitor results.
For online checkout, could I use .PAY for a wallet or payment app?
Yes. A wallet or payment app can use .PAY for a memorable payment-specific entry point. Check candidate labels through domain.pay: https://domain.pay/domains. If you own a matching trademark, consider the priority route; otherwise pre-order for broader access.
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.
