# The Grid protocol
|
|
The Grid is a Push-Native, Federated and Decentralised Event bus designed around privacy ([EU GDPR](https://eugdpr.org/)) and self-hosting. It is an alternative protocol to Matrix.
|
|
|
|
## Status
|
|
We are currently building the first client and server implementations, and a first test network is online.
|
|
|
|
See the [Sunrise](https://gitlab.com/thegridprotocol/home/milestones/1) milestone for the current progress.
|
|
|
|
## Documents
|
|
The following bootstrap documents explain what The Grid is in more details, how it came to be, differences with Matrix,
|
|
how the protocol will be managed by the non-profit and how documentation should take place.
|
|
|
|
- [Project Overview](docs/overview.md)
|
|
- [Governing Body](docs/governing-body.md)
|
|
- [Documentation Principles](docs/doc-principles.md)
|
|
|
|
## Getting Started
|
|
|
|
The protocol specification is currently hosted in the [Specification](https://gitlab.com/thegridprotocol/docs/spec) group. Please also look at [the open Merge Requests](https://gitlab.com/groups/thegridprotocol/docs/spec/-/merge_requests) which will contain the Work In Progress. Reviews are extremely welcome!
|
|
|
|
You can join the test network using [Gridepo](https://gitlab.com/kamax-io/grid/gridepo) and either a Matrix client or [Soler](https://gitlab.com/kamax-io/grid/soler). Please let us know if you start working on your own implementations: we will add them here so people can try them out too.
|
|
|
|
> **WARNING:** The test rooms on the test network are often reset to allow upgrades of algorithms and databases until the specification has reached v0.1
