Matrix is a federated protocol that supports end-to-end encryption. It was founded around September 2014 and was being funded by its parent company, Amdocs, up until October 2017. Matrix's manifest states that they believe people should have full control over their communication, they shouldn't be "locked into centralised communication silos...". The team behind Matrix also holds the point that having the ability to have conversations completely private and secure is a basic human right, and that it all needs to be free and open.
Clients
To be able to communicate through Matrix, the user needs a client. The official client developed by the team behind Matrix is called Element. According to the description on their website, the client has all the notable features of the protocol, except for multi-account support. Below is a list of most Matrix clients known for now.
