The IXO Matrix provides encrypted data storage and secure messaging capabilities for the Spatial Web through Matrix protocol integration. It enables private data rooms, real-time communication, and secure file storage with end-to-end encryption.
Spatial Web Architecture
IXO Matrix functions as the data persistence and communication layer within the broader Spatial Web Stack architecture, providing sovereign data storage for digital twins and secure communication channels between entity domains and users.Position in the Stack
Position in the Stack
IXO Matrix serves as the secure data layer that:
- Stores digital twin data in encrypted rooms
- Enables secure communication between entity domains and users
- Provides file storage with access control
- Manages state through specialized bots
Federated Server Architecture
Federated Server Architecture
IXO Matrix leverages the Matrix protocol’s federation capabilities to create a network of interconnected servers:
- Homeservers: Individual Matrix servers that store user data and room state
- Federation Protocol: Allows communication between different homeservers
- Identity Servers: Optional servers that help users discover each other
- Enhanced Security: DID-based identity integration and trusted server networks

IXO Matrix Room Bot
Automated Room Creation
IXO Matrix provides automated room creation for domain entities registered on the IXO blockchain. This process is managed by the Matrix Server Bot, which monitors the blockchain for new entity registrations and creates corresponding Matrix rooms.Matrix MCP Server and AuthIXO
Matrix MCP Server
Matrix MCP Server
The upcoming Matrix MCP (Model Context Protocol) Server is a custom Anthropic-based server that enables AI Agents to interface with Matrix Servers:
- AI Agent Integration: Allows AI agents to participate in Matrix rooms and process data
- Context-Aware Processing: Maintains conversation context for intelligent interactions
- Secure Agent Communication: Enables secure communication between AI agents and users
- Multi-Modal Support: Processes various data types including text, images, and structured data

Security Considerations
Encryption
Encryption
- Use end-to-end encryption for all rooms
- Implement proper key management
- Rotate encryption keys regularly
- Secure key backup and recovery
Access Control
Access Control
- Implement role-based access
- Regular permission audits
- Monitor room membership
- Enforce least privilege
Data Protection
Data Protection
- Encrypt sensitive data
- Implement data retention
- Regular security audits
- Backup critical data
Federation Security
Federation Security
- Limit federation to trusted homeservers
- Implement server access control lists
- Verify encryption status across federated rooms
- Monitor federation traffic for anomalies
- Implement proper server authentication
Best Practices
Room Management
- Create separate rooms for different purposes
- Use clear naming conventions
- Document room purposes
- Regular access reviews
- Monitor room sizes
Data Handling
- Validate data before storage
- Implement error handling
- Use appropriate event types
- Monitor storage usage
- Regular data cleanup
Performance
- Batch operations when possible
- Implement caching
- Handle rate limits
- Monitor API usage
- Optimize file sizes
