The future Element app.
The fastest Matrix experience ever, retaining data ownership, end-to-end encryption and native interoperability.
Here’s what early adopters need to know.
-
After it exits beta, Element X will become Element itself.
-
Today users can log into existing accounts through Element X (currently without your previous message history).
-
New account creation and SSO are supported using the latest version of
Element Server Suite, or any other homeserver supporting native OIDC or Matrix Authentication Service.
-
Element X currently targets messaging rather than collaboration; other features will be added later this year.
Speed.
Up to 6000x faster than other Matrix-based apps. We’ve completely rewritten the script! Our new Sliding Sync technology revolutionizes room joining, syncing and data exchanges – even in the biggest end-to-end encrypted rooms.
Usability.
Focus on your conversation with our new interface. All user flows have been optimized, so you can find what you are looking for more easily.
Security.
Our end-to-end encryption is now written in the Rust programming language, which has inherently strong memory, type and concurrency safety models. Element X is built on top of the new
matrix-rust-sdk libraries.
Accessibility.
We’ve optimized the app to ensure our colors and fonts meet accessibility standards. Everyone deserves the right to secure communication.
Open source.
We believe open source is central to the future of cybersecurity and software innovation. You can find all the Element X code on GitHub.
