Matrix
An open network for secure, decentralised communication
Matrix is an open, decentralized communication protocol that enables secure messaging across different providers and clients, similar to how email works across services. It supports instant messaging, communities, and rich application development through a federated server ecosystem. The Matrix.org Foundation maintains the open specification and operates a free public homeserver anyone can register on.
Matrix federates across independently operated servers so users on different providers can communicate seamlessly, using any compatible client app.
