- The Foundation is at a crossroads. We need to raise an additional $610K to break-even, and more immediately to raise $100K to keep our bridges running. As a neutral custodian, the Foundation is key to the success of Matrix. It is time to step up for it.

- The world needs secure comms as a bulwark against authoritarianism and oppression. Matrix seeks to meet that need, as a decentralised, encrypted protocol. But Trust & Safety is difficult in a decentralised environment. How are we building a safer Matrix?
