Frequently asked questions about vega.dot
Is registering .PAY a replacement for trademark monitoring for a retail brand?
No. Registering .PAY is not a replacement for trademark monitoring, takedowns or fraud controls. It can still reduce customer confusion around your official payment destination. Start by checking key names through domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register.
How can I make vega.dot the single source of truth for payments?
Once NicNames owns vega.dot, publish it consistently as the only official payment address and direct customers there from verified channels. A single trusted vega.dot name makes impersonators easier to spot. Begin by securing vega.dot at https://domain.pay/register.
Do I need an SMD file to register .PAY during the priority window for mobile money?
An SMD file is the TMCH-issued credential used to prove a validated mark during Sunrise. For .PAY, bring your SMD or use domain.pay’s full fast-track if you need help obtaining one: https://domain.pay/register. The SMD must match the requested label.
Does a pre-order guarantee I get vega.dot?
A pre-order queues a first-day attempt for vega.dot but does not guarantee acquisition, since contested names may have multiple applicants. If the attempt fails, the pre-order is refundable per policy. domain.pay explains how attempts work at https://domain.pay/pricing.
Can I use my own SMD file and pay less for a .PAY submission for crypto payments?
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.
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.
