Frequently asked questions about strand.dot
Can I use my own SMD file and pay less for a .PAY submission when choosing wallet.pay?
If you already have a valid TMCH-issued SMD file, domain.pay lists the submission-handling path at $100 plus any applicable premium retail fee. Check the current pricing and requirements here: https://domain.pay/pricing. The SMD must match the requested .PAY label.
How can NicNames prove ownership intent over strand.dot early?
Recording the strand.dot mark in the TMCH and obtaining an SMD file documents your rights and lets you claim strand.dot during priority phases. Pre-ordering strand.dot at $100, with refunds on failed attempts, further demonstrates and secures your intent to own it. https://domain.pay/register
