# The Grid
The Grid is a fork of the Matrix protocol with a different set of core values and a true community management.  
It aims to be care more for privacy and much more friendly to self-hosted infrastructures.

## Status
We are currently putting it all together before official kickoff.

See the [Sunrise](https://gitlab.com/thegridprotocol/home/milestones/1) milestone for the current progress.
