Web3 provider says access to quantum computing is ‘human right’

As a seasoned researcher who has witnessed the rapid evolution of technology over the years, I find the DePIN project and its quantum-as-a-service offering, Dynex, truly inspiring. The notion that innovation should be a human right resonates deeply with me, having seen firsthand how groundbreaking ideas can transform lives and societies.


In contrast to big businesses aiming to dominate access to cutting-edge technologies such as quantum computing, a proponent of a distributed physical infrastructure network (DePIN) argues that it is important for regular individuals to also gain access to these advanced technologies.

During the Future Blockchain Summit in Dubai, from October 13th to 16th, CryptoMoon had a conversation with Daniela Herrmann, one of the co-founders of Dynex – a project within DePIN. The aim was to understand how this company intends to make quantum computing available for the general public.

Instead of relying on a single, central network, DePINs (Decentralized Privacy-Preserving Interoperable Networks) utilize blockchain technology to establish decentralized systems. The goal is to keep these services operational while encouraging creativity and competition.

Herrmann elaborated that quantum computing represents a cutting-edge field, empowering individuals to tackle intricate computations that were previously infeasible because of the rapid increase in necessary resources. Potential applications of quantum computing span across various domains, including weather forecasting models and pharmaceutical studies, as she pointed out.

Innovation is a “human right”

Herrmann told CryptoMoon 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. 

As an analyst, I’d like to propose a thought experiment: if quantum computing becomes accessible to all, consider the possibility of integrating quantum processors into everyday computers. This transformation would empower us to tackle computational problems of greater complexity more swiftly, offering potential solutions in less time.

When questioned about granting public access to their technology, Herrmann stated that they feel innovation ought to be accessible for all.

“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.”

As a researcher, I can share that Herrmann mentioned an additional aspect – for those who might struggle with payment, there’s a supportive business arm in place. This arm extends assistance through strategic investments to help those pioneering in their respective fields.

Proof provision using blockchain technology

As an analyst, I’d express this by saying: “I explained that Dynex offers a decentralized platform, ensuring ethical integrity is maintained within its operations.

Herrmann clarified that Dynex could construct a decentralized, self-sustaining operating system using blockchain technology. This design ensures ethical integrity as it relies on multiple, distributed networks and graphics processing units (GPUs).

As a researcher, I also found that Herrmann mentioned the multifaceted nature of blockchain technology, one aspect being its function as a timestamping mechanism. This feature enables us to validate and substantiate claims or transactions.

Herrmann pointed out that it’s not just a timing mechanism; it’s also a system for timestamping. He suggests that if we aim to establish ethical integrity, such as providing proof, this can be done using the blockchain.
