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
Not only is it a successful Rust rewrite
only the crypto SDK is Rust, the frontend and other app code is kotlin
but they also fixed the system architecture of Matrix to improve speeds
they did that by storing a lot less of the state on your phone in my understanding, and that means it won’t work as whell when offline or on a slow connection, and will use more mobile data from the cap. that is, if I’m correct.
