So neither Signal nor Matrix are the final solution to secure communications. # Cwtch -[Peer to peer](https://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peer-to-peer) is the best solution because there's no way for it to tend towards centralization. Once [cwtch.im](https://cwtch.im/) (Cwtch is Welsh for hug/cuddle) is stable it will probably be the best peer to peer instant messaging solution since it can verifiably protect metadata and have encrypted group conversations. It's also built on [Tor](https://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tor_%28anonymity_network%29) which is the most tested, most researched and most used anonymity network out there. +[Peer to peer](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peer-to-peer) is the best solution because there's no way for it to tend towards centralization.
