# Spektr Matrix Protocol

The **Spektr Matrix Protocol** (SMP) allows the Nova Spektr application to exchange messages. SMP is based on the [Matrix](https://matrix.org/). Matrix is an open-source, secure, decentralized, real-time communication standard. The SMP uses Matrix for:

1. Secure, automated multisig call data exchange
2. Secure, automated multisig account information exchange

### The following steps include actions you must perform in your Nova Spektr application in order to start using SMP:
