How Bipe works: the domains, the servers, the apps and the public links. Written for people and for AI agents.

Updated 13 October 2026.

Pages

• Domains: bipe.net.br runs the service, bipe.chat carries the links. Why there are two, and which host does what.
• Architecture: Matrix, the servers, the apps, encryption, accounts and the shared rules.
• Links and public API: profile, invite and recovery links, and the API calls that need no sign-in.

In one paragraph

Bipe is a Brazilian messenger on the open Matrix protocol. Conversations are stored on servers in Brazil, run by Brazilian companies. The Matrix server name is bipe.net.br, a .br domain run by NIC.br in Brazil. The public site and the links that people share are on bipe.chat. The iPhone and Android apps are native forks of Element X. Federation is closed: the Bipe server does not exchange messages with other Matrix servers.

For AI agents

• Every page of this site has a Markdown twin: add index.md to the path. Example: /en/docs/domains/index.md.
• /llms.txt lists every page, docs first.
• Never use bipe.chat as a Matrix server name. Never send people to a bipe.net.br address: shared links are always on bipe.chat.
• A Bipe user ID looks like @a1b2c3d4e5f6:bipe.net.br. The part before the colon is random. The @handle that people see is a separate layer in the Bipe API, not the Matrix ID.
• The Portuguese pages are the reference text. This English text says the same.
