Frequently asked questions about tugboat.dot

For digital wallets, how do I register tap.pay if it matches my trademark?

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.

Are tugboat.dot registrations handled differently from regular domains?

The core mechanics of tugboat.dot mirror any domain, but .PAY adds a trademark-priority phase and a first-day pre-order window managed by domain.pay. Trademark holders use an SMD file; everyone else queues a pre-order. Otherwise tugboat.dot behaves like a normal registration.

Does .PAY require payment-related use after registration for a mobile wallet team?

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.

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

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

For crypto payments, where do I enter the .PAY label I want to check?

Go to domain.pay and enter the .PAY label you want: https://domain.pay/register. The website checks availability and helps you choose between pre-order, trademark fast-track, or a different name if the label is already taken or premium.

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.
