Element is launching the world’s first communications platform based on the upcoming Matrix 2.0 release. The result is blazing performance which outperforms the mainstream alternatives - across a decentralised system that enables self-hosting and end-to-end encryption - as well as open standard interoperability to revolutionise real time communication between large organisations.

Built on Matrix 2.0, Element X now rivals the performance of centralised consumer messaging apps, empowering organisations to address the shadow IT issues caused by consumer-grade messaging apps in the workplace.

The new Element communications solution consists:

  • Element X, our next-gen app with an array of new features
  • Element Call fully integrated into Element X, for native Matrix-encrypted voice and video
  • Element Server Suite, our backend hosting solution for powerful admin control and Matrix 2.0 performance

    It’s probably the number one reason I can’t convince friends to move over, I know they would bawk at how it makes them do that on every device

      I studied cryptography and I can’t figure out how to do the dance right. I thought I did, but one of my contacts says they can’t read any message I send them. And I can’t message them to figure out why.

      We haven’t spoken since. Thanks Matrix.

      while I agree that there are too many problems right now, 2 things really can’t be avoided:

      • setting up key backup after registration asap
      • verifying your new logged in devices, possibly with the key backup password

      well, unless they are fine with using it like signal, which is basically one device only
