Kakunin Blog — AI Regulation, MiCA & EU AI Act
Practical guidance on MiCA, EU AI Act, and cryptographic identity for teams deploying autonomous AI agents in regulated markets.
What you'll find here
The Kakunin blog publishes longer-form explanations of the problems regulated teams run into when AI agents move from prototype to production. That includes identity and certificate design, scope enforcement, anomaly scoring, revocation, compliance evidence, and practical implementation notes for teams using Next.js, APIs, and agent frameworks.
If you are trying to understand whether your system is ready for MiCA, the EU AI Act, or a regulator review, start with the featured guides below. They move from strategy into the exact implementation patterns we use across the product and docs.
For a strong foundation on cryptographic proof for autonomous systems, start with our breakdown of how AI agent identity works in practice.
