Matrix gives you simple HTTP APIs and SDKs (iOS, Android, Web) to add Matrix-enabled chatrooms and direct chats directly into existing apps, complete with end-to-end encryption, emoji, file transfer and more.

Optionally interoperate with other Matrix apps, letting your users reach every other user in the global Matrix ecosystem.

IoT fragmentation is extremely problematic.

By building bridges to as many IoT silos as possible, data can be securely published on the Matrix network. IoT solutions built on Matrix are unified, rather than integrating separately with vendors, and can even publish or consume Matrix data directly from devices.

With the advent of WebRTC, developers gained the ability to exchange high quality voice and video calls – but no way to actually route the calls.

Matrix is the missing signalling layer for WebRTC. If you are building VoIP into your app, or want to expose your existing VoIP app to a wider audience, building on Matrix’s SDKs and bridges should be a no-brainer.

Matrix’s simple HTTP APIs, SDKs, or existing bot frameworks (go-neb or py-neb) mean you can implement against a single open standard interface.

Bots built for Matrix also instantly expose the bot to every messaging platform (IRC, Slack, Gitter, XMPP etc.) bridged via Matrix, letting you concentrate on the important bit: the bot itself.

Matrix.org is a non-profit initiative, currently being incorporated as a dedicated non-profit Matrix.org Foundation in the UK.

It acts as a neutral guardian of the Matrix spec, nurturing and growing Matrix for the benefit of the whole ecosystem.

The board of Matrix.org Foundation will be made up of key participants in the Matrix community as well as independent advisors from the wider internet and telco industries.
