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

    I currently use Synapse with bridges to Signal and Discord, and Matrix API. Is Element X a better way to go server-side now?

        The title of the article, and body, say otherwise.

          No they don’t, it’s just confusingly worded

          Element X is a matrix client that will eventually replace Element for android/ios

          Matrix 2.0 is the server suite, some of the changes in matrix 2.0 are necessary for element x to work.

            I think it’s actually Element X, Element Call and Element Server Suite, and they just did not want to write Element 3 times

            Got it, thank you. So if I’m following now, Matrix 2.0 a new protocol, and the solution to run instead of synapse is Element Server and Element Call?

              Yes except element call is a frontend for voip and p2p

                Is that still the case?

                This level of integration means that group VoIP in Matrix finally benefits from all of Matrix’s native end-to-end encryption, cryptographic identity and decentralisation - no longer handing over to a third-party system such as Jitsi which doesn’t integrate with Matrix’s encryption guarantees.

                And, native E2EE for voice and video (through the Element Call integration mentioned above) ensures that Matrix’s encryption guarantees now extend to video conferencing.

                Though I’m assuming you mean protocols not app names.

          No, that’s your reading comprehension. You are conflating Matrix 2.0 and Element X.
