Pittsburgh, United States — ANewswire — May 28, 2026
New infrastructure issues cryptographic X.509 certificates to autonomous systems, addressing critical compliance requirements under the EU AI Act and MiCA
Kakunin today announced the launch of the world’s first purpose-built Non-Human Identity (NHI) platform, designed to provide verifiable cryptographic identities to AI agents, trading bots, and other autonomous systems operating in regulated financial markets.
The platform issues X.509 digital certificates to individual AI agents, enabling regulators, exchanges, and institutions to authenticate, monitor, and audit non-human actors — an area previously unaddressed by existing identity frameworks.
Filling a Critical Regulatory Gap
With the full implementation of MiCA in July 2026 and high-risk AI system provisions of the EU AI Act taking effect in August 2026, regulators are increasingly focused on autonomous financial systems. However, both frameworks lack standardized mechanisms for issuing, managing, and revoking identities for non-human entities.
Traditional KYC and corporate identification processes are not designed for stateless, revocable AI agents. Kakunin solves this challenge by providing a dedicated identity layer specifically engineered for autonomous systems.
“Humans have passports. Corporations have tax IDs. Until now, AI agents had nothing,” said Palash Bagchi, Founder of Kakunin. “Kakunin provides the missing cryptographic foundation for trusted autonomous operations in regulated environments.”
Platform Capabilities
Kakunin’s platform combines several core components:
- Cryptographic Identity: X.509 certificates (RSA-2048) issued per agent via AWS KMS, with private keys never leaving the secure enclave. Certificates include agent metadata, owner tenant information, and support real-time revocation.
- Behavioral Telemetry: Real-time event streaming of agent actions, including trades, approvals, anomalies, and compliance events, delivered via Server-Sent Events (SSE) with heartbeat monitoring.
- Compliance Reporting: Automated generation of regulator-ready PDF and JSON audit reports formatted for MiCA and EU AI Act requirements, supported by immutable WORM (Write-Once-Read-Many) audit logs.
- Capability Negotiation: A standardized endpoint (/.well-known/agent-negotiate) that allows regulators and counterparties to query an agent’s authorized capabilities, helping prevent scope creep.
Market Traction and Availability
The platform is now feature-complete and entering pilot phase with leading trading platforms, including Cryptohopper, 3Commas, Elastics, and AriseAlpha. Integration typically takes less than one hour for experienced development teams via REST API.

“Cryptohopper operates over 100,000 trading bots simultaneously. Regulators and institutional clients require clear evidence that these systems operate within defined limits. Kakunin provides the verifiable audit trail necessary for scaling responsibly.” — Cryptohopper pilot participant
