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

Yes, you can. The server code is on github. But I don't know why you would, since all messages are encrypted client-side.

Its more secure because you know that all your users can't send a message unencrypted, either accidentally or intentionally.

there's a graphical indicator if they send something unencrypted, and there's no way to turn an encrypted chat into an unencrypted chat on matrix. Plus they start encrypted by default, I honestly don't even know how to make an unencrypted chat, I don't think there's any good way to other than using a client that doesn't have encryption.

this is not a real problem.

It is a problem. Many orgs have strict rules not to use messaging solutions that support unencrypted messages

This doesn't tick the box, so it blocks adoption
