## What it is
Matrix.to is a stateless, privacy-protecting URL redirection service for the Matrix ecosystem that turns matrix.to links into app-agnostic entry points for rooms, users, and messages. It acts as a landing page, resolving links entirely client-side so link details are never sent to the server.

## Use cases
- share matrix room links that work with any client
- create a landing page for my matrix community
- add a chat badge to my website linking to a matrix room
- redirect matrix.to urls without leaking them to the server
- self-host a matrix link redirect service

## When to choose
- you need app-agnostic shareable links for Matrix rooms, users, or messages
- you want a privacy-respecting landing page for Matrix entities
- you want to self-host the redirect service or host it on IPFS

## When to avoid
- you need a Matrix client or homeserver itself
- you need server-side link resolution or analytics on followed links
