Matters has been online since 2018 and opened to all users for registration in June 2019. It has formed tens of thousands of creator communities mainly in Chinese, and it is also the largest creator community on the IPFS distributed network.

The public space of Matters is defined by the creators, and to a large extent depends on the autonomy of the creators to maintain. The nickname of "Matt City" comes from the users (archaeological time: the source of Matt City is here ), members call each other "Mate Citizens", enthusiastically write teaching articles, self-organize publications and publishing houses, use Open-source codes make all kinds of data, weekly newspapers, and encyclopedias. Everyone, like an architect, picks up bricks and tiles, leaves footprints, makes friends, and weaves together the ideal appearance of the community.

Town is made up of people, it can be big or small, it can be a small town or a metropolis, but the core is people, which is the community network connected by the original residents, new residents, and mobile immigrants here. The station will also provide infrastructure for this growing community. We hope that every citizen of Matt can freely leave his creation, thinking, and life footprints here, meet like-minded friends, and find his favorite in the neighborhood. corners, build together. More facility upgrades in Matters Town will be launched one after another, so stay tuned and pay attention to Matty's announcement.
