Dr. Cindy Vestergaard is RKVST’s new vice president special projects and external relations
Nuclear sector and global security blockchain expert joins leader in trustworthy digital archives and supply chain integrity, transparency and trust
SANTA CLARA, Calif., and CAMBRIDGE, U.K. – February 16, 2023 – RKVST™ is thrilled to announce the appointment of Dr. Cindy Vestergaard as vice president special projects and external relations.
Cindy’s extensive experience with blockchain and distributed ledger technology (DLT) across global supply chains, including reconciling dual-use chemicals, tracing arms transfers and tracking nuclear material across the nuclear fuel cycle (from mining to disposal), are a great fit with RKVST’s expanding opportunities with commercial businesses and government agencies.
In her new role, Cindy will work closely with customers and partners in building blockchain-powered data integrity, transparency and trust into existing supply chains utilising the RKVST platform. The RKVST platform is available to all businesses today starting with a free forever service that easily connects with existing data archives, on premises or in the cloud, enabling partners and customers to instantly verify assets and data are safe to use and fit for purpose.
Rusty Cumpston, CEO, RKVST, said:
“I’m very excited that Cindy is now part of the RKVST team. Cindy is exceptionally talented, and her unique experience navigating the secure and safety-conscious supply chains for nuclear and other high-value assets is incredibly well aligned with many of our customer pursuits. Her extensive knowledge of real-life applications of blockchain technology in the nuclear sector will benefit our customers. Cindy is a great addition to RKVST’s innovative, growing team, and I look forward to working with her during this next stage of the company’s growth.”
Dr. Cindy Vestergaard, vice president special projects and external relations, RKVST, said:
“I’m excited to join the RKVST team and empower organisations to achieve real value from their digital archives. Many struggle with tedious sleuthing of documents and data, wasting time and resources in what is seen as an incomplete and inadequate digital transformation. I look forward to assisting organisations to deploy blockchain to enhance transparency, security and reporting in the nuclear and other regulated sectors, where data provenance and integrity are paramount.”
Cindy is a non-resident fellow with the Nuclear Safeguards and Blockchain in Practice Programs at the Stimson Center, previously serving as director and senior fellow. Prior to Stimson, she worked as a senior researcher at the Danish Institute for International Studies (DIIS) and in various positions at Canada’s foreign ministry, including senior policy advisor. Cindy has a BA in International Relations from the University of British Columbia, MA in International Relations and European Studies from Central European University (Budapest, Hungary) and a Ph.D. in Political Science from the University of Copenhagen.

The Blockchain Renaissance – AI, Infrastructure, and Eastern Europe’s Ascent
As we navigate through the intricate tapestry of blockchain and cryptocurrency, May 6, 2025, stands out as a day marked by significant strides in technology, infrastructure, and regional innovation. From the fusion of artificial intelligence with blockchain analytics to the strategic expansion of data centers, the landscape is evolving at an unprecedented pace. Eastern Europe, particularly Romania, is emerging as a formidable player in the blockchain arena, leveraging platforms like Solana to drive innovation. Simultaneously, the integration of blockchain into warehouse operations signifies the technology’s permeation into traditional industries.
Arkham and Blockchair: Redefining On-Chain Transparency
In the realm of blockchain analytics, Arkham Intelligence and Blockchair are pioneering a new era of on-chain visibility. Arkham Intelligence, founded by Miguel Morel and backed by notable investors such as Sam Altman and Tim Draper, utilizes AI to deanonymize blockchain addresses, providing a clearer view of cryptocurrency flows. This approach, while enhancing transparency, raises questions about privacy and the balance between openness and confidentiality in the decentralized world.
Blockchair complements this by offering a comprehensive blockchain search and analytics engine, enabling users to explore transactions across multiple blockchains. Their tools facilitate a deeper understanding of blockchain data, empowering users to make informed decisions.

DMG Blockchain Solutions: Strategic Pivot Towards AI Infrastructure
DMG Blockchain Solutions Inc. has reported its preliminary operational results for April 2025, highlighting a strategic shift towards artificial intelligence infrastructure. The company mined 30 BTC during the month, a slight decrease from March, attributed to increased network difficulty and a shorter month. Notably, DMG increased its realized hashrate to 1.93 EH/s, supported by the deployment of additional Bitmain S21+ Hydro miners.
In a significant move, DMG liquidated a portion of its Bitcoin holdings to fund the acquisition of 2 megawatts of prefabricated AI data center infrastructure. This investment marks a demonstrative shift towards utilizing returns from Bitcoin mining to fund AI capital expenditures, aiming to secure off-take agreements with high-value government and enterprise users seeking sovereign AI solutions in Canada.
