feature1_title: Hosted in Switzerland
---
feature1_text:
The Matrix chat is hosted exclusively in Switzerland,
offering its political stability and strict privacy laws as advantages
---
feature2_title: Fully decentralised
---
feature2_text:
Everyone can run a Matrix server and by default Matrix is open for
federation. That means if you have a hosted Matrix server instance
that you can directly connect to other servers and chat with people
everywhere in the world. You can even try this out by talking to us on
**#matrix:ungleich.ch**!

feature3_title: Privacy by default
---
feature3_text: Matrix allows full end-to-end encryption (E2EE) in its
core. No additional settings required, encryption is at at the heart
of Matrix.
Because of E2EE your messages can even be encrypted at rest -
i.e. they are not stored plaintext, if you encrypt them.

## What is Matrix?
[Matrix](https://matrix.org/) is a decentralised chat that allows you
to have your own private conversations and at the same time be
connected to other communities. At your choice.
Matrix features real end-to-end encryption that allows you to keep
your messages save from everyone.
## Whom is Matrix Chat for?
If you are interested in Open Source, if you value privacy and if
don't mind a slightly geeky interface - well, then Matrix is certainly
for you.
If you are more looking for an end-user compatible chat, we recommend
to look at the [Mattermost based](../zero-carbon-chat/) chat.
Matrix can be used as a replacement of Slack or IRC. It is neither
proprietary nor based on a hard to extend protocol (think of:
pictures). Like the Mattermost chat, Matrix is also running on a Zero
Carbon infrastructure.

## Transparent costs
[Matrix](https://matrix.org/) is a modern and decentralised, open-source chat
solution backed by a dynamic community and providing many advanced user-focused
features such as end-to-end encryption, bridging or audio & video calls:
The cost is divided between a base maintenance fee and 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
allocated to your node. We will extend them on demand, following the pricing
model (CPU, RAM, Disk) of our [VM offer](https://datacenterlight.ch/).
* 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.
<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
corporate team chat. We use both at ungleich, using Mattermost for our internal
chat and Matrix to reach out to the world!
