While large corporations may try to monopolize access to technological innovations, a decentralized physical infrastructure network (DePIN) provider believes individuals should also have access to technologies like quantum computing.
At the Future Blockchain Summit, held in Dubai from Oct. 13–16, Cointelegraph spoke with Daniela Herrmann, the co-founder of DePIN project Dynex, to learn how the company plans to allow the public to access quantum computing.
Unlike centralized networks, DePINs use blockchains to create distributed systems. These projects ensure that services remain accessible and aim to foster innovation and competition.

Herrmann explained that quantum computing is an emerging technology that allows people to solve complex calculations that were once impossible due to the exponential growth of resources required. Use cases for quantum computing range from weather prediction models to pharmaceutical research, she said.
Innovation is a “human right”
Herrmann told Cointelegraph that Dynex is a quantum-as-a-service offering, claiming it’s the first entity that allows the public to access the technology through a subscription.
“If that [quantum computing] is possible for everyone, let’s imagine you could do a quantum in every personal computer, it would mean that you can very quickly play with higher complexities that give you solutions,” Herrmann explained.
When asked why the company wants to give people access to the technology, she said that they believe that innovation should be available for everyone. Herrmann said:
“This is what we wanted because we do think innovation is a human right. It’s important to do that. And we issued a subscription model as of February, which gives access for everyone.”
Herrmann also added that if someone is not capable of paying the fees, they also have a business arm that supports pioneers through investments.
Proof provision using blockchain technology
When asked where the blockchain comes in, Herrmann said Dynex provides a decentralized operating system and allows for ethical integrity.
Herrmann explained that blockchain technology allowed Dynex to build an operating system sustained by decentralized networks, enabling ethical integrity through decentralized networks and graphics processing units (GPUs).
In addition, Herrmann said that the blockchain also works as a time stamp, which allows for providing proof.
“It is also a system for a time stamp. If we want to create ethical integrity, let’s say proof provision, and as that is given with the blockchain,” Herrmann added.
