subtitle: Easy, decentralised & end-to-end encrypted chat

feature1_title: Open

feature1_text:
The evolution of Matrix is managed through an open governance process,
supervised by [The Matrix.org Foundation](https://matrix.org/foundation).
Moreover, all the software backing the network is [Free and Open
Source](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_and_open-source_software), which
guarantees quality and security.

feature2_title: Secure & decentralized

feature2_text:
Both end-to-end encryption and federation are *built-in* into Matrix. The
former will be enabled by default in the near future, making it a valuable tool
for activists and privacy-minded people all across the world.

feature3_text:
We host your Matrix homeserver in our [own
datacenter](/u/projects/data-center-light/) in Switzerland, which we believe to
be as ecologically-friendly as a datacenter can get: we use old buildings,
second-hand hydroelectric, passive cooling and are directly plugged into a
hydroelectric power plant.

<h2>Growing fast!</h2>
<p>As of February 2020, the Matrix network supports ~13.5M visible
accounts, ~5.0M messages a day, ~40.000 federated servers and even <a

<p>A lot of privacy, security and usability work is going on... which
means that Matrix will get even more awesome in the coming months!</p>
<p>You can follow the <a href="https://matrix.org/blog/posts">Matrix.org
blog</a> to get frequent updates on Matrix's development, and chat with
us on <a

## What is Matrix?
[Matrix](https://matrix.org/) is a modern and decentralised, open-source chat
solution backed by a dynamic community. It provides many advanced user-focused
features such as end-to-end encryption, bridging or audio & video calls:
* The strongest point of Matrix is *federation*: a Matrix homeserver - which is
what we offer - allows to manage your own community... and to join the whole
Matrix network. You will be able to exchange with users on any other Matrix
server without any special configuration!
* End-to-end encryption (E2EE) means that - when enabled - only the sender and
intended receiver(s) will be able to read the messages: even ungleich, who
manages the matrix server, will not be able to access the content of E2EE
messages.
* Our Matrix servers are provided with a TURN server, meaning that you'll be
able to use voice and video calls out of the box.
* We support bridging to other networks such as Mattermost instances, IRC,
Slack, Telegram and more via
[Matterbridge](https://github.com/42wim/matterbridge).
There are [many Matrix clients](https://matrix.org/clients/), although we
**strongly recommend** [Riot](https://about.riot.im/features) which is the most
advanced at the moment. Be aware, however, that you might be a bit confused
with its UI/UX at first (there is ongoing work to improve onboarding): we
encourage you to [try Riot/Matrix](https://riot.im/app/) first if your are not
already familiar with it.

You will find more details on our <a

FAQ</a> and on <a href="https://matrix.org/discover"> Matrix's official
documentation</a>.

<div class="alert alert-secondary">
You might be also interested in our [Mattermost-based chat
offer](../zero-carbon-chat), which might be closer to what you expect for a
enterprise team chat at the moment. We use both at ungleich, since Matrix is
especially convenient to reach out to the world!

## Pricing
The cost of our Matrix-as-a-Service offer is divided between a base maintenance
fee and the price of the dedicated Virtual Machine (VM) we deploy for you in
our [own datacenter](/u/projects/data-center-light). There is no artifical
restriction on the number of users or size of rooms: the only limit is the
resources we allocate to your node. We will extend them on demand, following
the pricing model (CPU, RAM, Disk) of our [VM
offer](https://datacenterlight.ch/).
<div class="alert alert-info">
We also offer custom-sized deployment. You can discuss our offer with us by
email or even on matrix, via <a
href="https://matrix.to/#/%23matrix:ungleich.ch">#matrix:ungleich.ch</a>!
