What is Matrix?

Matrix is a collaborative open-source project that sets a standard for secure and decentralized real-time communication, featuring reference implementations licensed under Apache. It provides simple HTTP APIs and SDKs for various platforms such as iOS, Android, and the Web, allowing users to effortlessly set up chat rooms, direct messaging, and chatbots, all while ensuring end-to-end encryption, file transfers, synchronized chat histories, formatted messages, and read receipts. By employing advanced end-to-end encryption methods through the Olm and Megolm cryptographic systems, Matrix ensures that only intended recipients have access to your messages and alerts you to any unidentified devices added to conversations. The name "Matrix" signifies its ability to unify diverse communication platforms into a seamless global network.
