tzchat.org Riot/Matrix service

Thanks to a grant from the Tezos Foundation the Tezos community has a Riot (Matrix) server at tzchat.org of its own. Riot accounts homed on that server are likely to have faster response times compared to the overloaded servers¹ for matrix.org accounts.

To register a new account at tzchat.org, visit the entry page and use Create Account. Providing an email address there will allow you to reset your password later, but that’s optional. If you have an existing Riot/Matrix account at matrix.org there is no need to create a new one but you may wish to anyway to get better performance in Riot.

To login to a tzchat.org account, visit the same entry page. For username use your complete Matrix account ID², a value like @myusername:tzchat.org.

For mobile and desktop app users: As above, enter your full Matrix account ID as username. That allows the client to automatically find your homeserver.

For a list of some popular Tezos rooms, visit our Riot home page and click View Rooms. The room directory is also available via the “+” next to ROOMS in the left tab in Riot.
