Mode 02 · Open & on the roadmap

Open clients now, self-hosting next

The Unyted.Chat clients are open source today — read the code, build them, point them at your own deployment. A self-contained server you can run on your own infrastructure, plus federation and enterprise SSO, are what we're building next.

Features

Built for serious conversations.

What ships today, and what we're building next — clearly marked, never overstated.

Encryption

Encrypted in transit (TLS/HTTPS) on every connection today. Roadmap: end-to-end encryption for DMs, channels and calls.

Federation

Roadmap: talk to other Unyted.Chat servers and Matrix-compatible peers. Today, conversations live on one EU-hosted backend.

Channels, groups & DMs

Org-style channels, group threads and quiet 1:1 direct messages — with message edits, deletes and read receipts.

Voice & video (LiveKit)

The clients integrate LiveKit for calls and screenshare. Connect a LiveKit server to switch it on; managed calling is on the roadmap.

Roles & permissions

Channel and group roles decide who can post and manage members. Roadmap: redaction, rate limits, spam guards and a moderator audit log.

SSO, SAML & SCIM

Single sign-on via Okta, Entra ID, Keycloak, Authentik or Google (SAML/OIDC), alongside passwordless email. SCIM auto-provisioning is on the roadmap.

Bridges & webhooks

Route events out to any system via outbound webhooks. Inbound bridges (Slack, Telegram, IRC, email) are on the roadmap.

AI copilots

Opt-in summaries, translations and action-item extraction — runnable against your own LLM endpoint.

Audit, retention & export

Configurable retention windows, encrypted backups, and GDPR-grade data export and erasure on request.

Open source & self-host

Open clients today. Self-hostable server on the roadmap.

The Unyted.Chat clients are open source right now — clone the repo, build them, and point them at any Unyted.Chat backend. A single-binary, Docker- and Helm-friendly server you can run end to end on your own infrastructure is what we're building next.

# 1. Clone the open-source client
git clone https://github.com/unytedmetaverse/chatapp.git
cd chatapp && npm install

# 2. Point it at your Unyted.Chat backend
VITE_UNYTED_API_BASE="https://your-backend.example.com"

# 3. Build the static site and host it anywhere
npm run build   # → dist/ : deploy to Netlify, S3, nginx…

# Self-hostable server (federation, E2EE, SSO) — on the roadmap.

Questions

The short answers.

Is Unyted.Chat the same product as the chat inside Unyted.World?
It's the messaging layer of the Unyted ecosystem and shares its EU-hosted backend. Today it works as a standalone team chat for any audience; deeper in-world integration with Unyted.World rooms is on the roadmap.
Do I need a Unyted.World subscription to use Unyted.Chat?
No — Unyted.Chat works on its own. The open-source clients are free, and there's a free hosted workspace for small teams. No Unyted.World subscription required.
What does "federated" mean in practice?
Federation is on our roadmap. The plan: your server can talk to other Unyted.Chat servers and to any Matrix-compatible server, the way email crosses providers. Today, conversations live on one EU-hosted backend.
Can we keep all data inside Germany / the EU?
The hosted backend runs in the EU (Frankfurt). Pinning every component — database, media, signalling — to a single jurisdiction or to your own data centre is part of the Sovereign roadmap.
Are my messages encrypted?
Every connection is encrypted in transit with TLS/HTTPS today. End-to-end encryption — where the server never sees plaintext — is on our roadmap, alongside opt-in AI features that run against an LLM endpoint you choose.
Is this open source?
The clients are open source today on GitHub, under a permissive licence. The server is in active development and will be released for self-hosting. Client and protocol changes are versioned in public.
What support do I get on the free Community edition?
Public documentation and our GitHub Issues / Discussions. Priority and SLA-backed support come with the hosted Team and Sovereign plans.
