Abstract:

   This document defines the "pay" Uniform Resource Identifier (URI)
   scheme, a rail-neutral, human- and agent-friendly name for a payment
   payee that resolves, through a resolution protocol, to one or more
   concrete payment endpoints.  Unlike a URI that names a specific
   account on a specific payment method, a "pay" URI names a payee
   independently of any settlement rail; a resolver deterministically
   maps the name to the rail(s), endpoint(s), and metadata a payer needs
   to construct a payment.  This document specifies the scheme syntax
   and semantics, the resolution mechanism and its discovery, the
   deterministic resolution property, and requests provisional
   registration of the scheme with IANA per RFC 7595.  It does not
   define a settlement protocol and takes no custody of funds; it
   composes with agent-payment protocols such as x402 for the actual
   money movement.
