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

Sounds like a design flaw. How does this work with other messengers that don't allow users to send unencrypted messages, like Wire, Signal, and WhatsApp?

(part 2) it doesn't seem that signal has such a limit. maybe they're just fine with using relatively a large part of their data for key storage

Groups have an encryption key that I guess you receive from other members upon joining.

probably the same way, and probably with an upper limit on group chat member count
