Frequently asked questions about soniccore.dot

For mobile money, is .PAY Sunrise first-come, first-served for trademark holders?

.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.

Which file format does NicNames accept for trademark priority on soniccore.dot?

NicNames accepts the standard .smd (Signed Mark Data) file issued by the Trademark Clearinghouse for trademark priority on soniccore.dot. The file is a signed, encoded representation of your validated soniccore.dot mark. Other documents cannot substitute for the SMD. Upload it during registration at https://domain.pay/register.

For loan repayments, 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.

Why does the .PAY launch protect trademarks first for soniccore.dot?

The launch protects trademarks first because ICANN's framework reserves the sunrise phase for brand owners, letting them claim soniccore.dot before the public to prevent infringement. General availability follows for everyone else. Position for soniccore.dot at https://domain.pay/register.

How do I register tap.pay if it matches my trademark for loan repayments?

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.

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.
