Registration on salix.host is token-gated to keep spam out. Request a single-use token below. A short proof-of-work runs in your browser instead of a tracking captcha: no third parties, no cookies.

# heads up: you can only request one token per hour, and it expires after 10 minutes. Grab it when you're ready to sign up.

## why salix.host?

[e2ee] private by default

End-to-end encryption via Matrix. Your conversations belong to you, not to an ad network.

[fed] decentralized

Matrix federation means you can talk to anyone on any server. No lock-in, ever. Take your identity with you.

[gen] generic by design

A neutral domain that doesn't broadcast anything about you. Your handle, your rules.

[fast] fast & cared for

Small, well-maintained, community-oriented. Run by a person, not a corporation.

[anon] minimal footprint

Sign up with just a username. No email, no phone number, no identity checks, no data harvesting.

[foss] open source

Matrix is an open protocol with open clients. Audit the code, pick any app, or build your own.

## get started
