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_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

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/).
