Frequently asked questions about thechosen.dot

Can a reserved .PAY name become available later for a remittance app?

The .PAY registry may reserve, block, withhold or later release certain names under its policies. Check your exact label at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/domains. If the name is unavailable, choose an alternative from the catalog or search another label.

Why might thechosen.dot be available when the .com is not?

Popular .com names are largely registered after decades of use, but .PAY is a newer namespace, so thechosen.dot may still be open. That gives thechosen.dot a chance to own a clean, on-brand payment address. Check thechosen.dot availability at /register.

Could a .PAY domain be suspended for not being used for payments 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.

What can a mobile-first brand do with thechosen.dot?

A mobile-first brand can make thechosen.dot the address users tap to pay across SMS, app, and social. Short and payment-native, it's easy to type on a phone and reinforces trust at checkout. Start at https://domain.pay/register.

ICANN currently lists .PAY Sunrise from April 13, 2026 to July 20, 2026. domain.pay says trademark owners needing TMCH support should apply by July 10, 2026 and notes a final July 20, 2026 13:00 UTC deadline. Start here: https://domain.pay/register.
