About Matrix Matrix is an open protocol for decentralised, secure communications.

Matrix Manifesto We believe:

People should have full control over their own communication. People should not be locked into centralised communication silos, but instead be free to pick who they choose to host their communication without limiting who they can reach. The ability to converse securely and privately is a basic human right. Communication should be available to everyone as a free and open, unencumbered, standard and global network.

Also from their FAQs:

Who’s behind WireMin?

The WireMin team consists of a group of experienced technical experts and Web 3.0 advocates all over the world.

Web3 = crypto

Not a single personal name on their website.

Marked the domain as crypto-scam in uBlock and good riddance. Unironically thank you!
