    From the blog by status:

    Furthermore, the collaboration between Status and Matrix is expected to:

    • Utilize the Status Network token within Riot.im by enabling crypto assets
    • Create a bridge between Matrix and Whisper (Ethereum’s own real-time communication protocol)
    • Integrate Status DApps as widgets within Riot.im

    This does sour my view of Element.

    Matrix Foundation might have been an afterthought but it still is a valid step in ensuring at least some independence of the protocol from Element.

      True, the foundation is not all bad, but at least currently the people in charge of it are the same persons (& close friends) as those running NewVector Ltd. Once that changes significantly I am willing to soften my stance on the foundation itself.
