AsterPay integration reference: MAKO implements a signed extensions.reliability contract, and AsterPay's public signer registry listed MAKO Pulse when checked on 2026-07-22. A sampled demo 402 did not expose that field, so this does not establish universal deployment, customer status, traffic, or revenue. Evidence boundary.
