# This — is The **Construct**

</a>

It all started in 1988 when Jarkko Oikarinen developed a free and open source server
at the University of Oulu which facilitated real-time communication over the internet.
Its [derivatives](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/d/d8/IRCd_software_implementations.png)
have underpinned the major networks for decades.

The protocol has since stagnated, largely abandoned except by a small cult of
millenarians. A growing number of proprietary cloud services have filled the
vacuum of innovation. Free software projects are relegated to collaborating on
non-free platforms for a basic rich user experience. The consensus is that
decentralization is needed, and users not be limited to some arcane
retro-environment.

**This is the Construct** — the community's own Matrix server. It is designed
to be fast and highly scalable, and to be developed by volunteer contributors
over the internet. This mission strives to make the software easy to understand,
modify, audit, and extend. It remains true to its roots with its modular design
and having minimal requirements. Even though all of the old code has been
rewritten, the same spirit and philosophy of its predecessors is still obvious
throughout.

The community's own Matrix server. It is designed to be fast and highly scalable,
and to be developed by volunteer contributors over the internet. This mission
strives to make the software easy to understand, modify, audit, and extend.

Matrix is about giving you control over your communication; Construct is about
giving you control over Matrix. Your privacy and security matters. We encourage
you to contribute new ideas and are liberal in accepting experimental features.
