Domains

The data stays in Brazil, and so does the address of the service. Bipe uses two domains with two jobs: bipe.net.br runs the service, bipe.chat carries the links that people share.

Updated 13 October 2026.

The two domains

Domain	Registry	Job
`bipe.net.br`	NIC.br, in Brazil	Matrix server name and every service host
`bipe.chat`	`.chat` registry, outside Brazil	Public site and shared links

Why the server name is under .br

The Matrix server name is part of every user ID and every room ID. Example: @a1b2c3d4e5f6:bipe.net.br. It cannot change without new accounts for everyone. So it must sit where no foreign party can switch it off.

NIC.br runs .br in Brazil. A .chat domain depends on a registry and a registrar outside Brazil. Bipe puts the part that cannot change under .br, and the part that can move under bipe.chat.

If bipe.chat stops working, chat keeps working. Only the site and new link previews stop.

Hosts on bipe.net.br

Host	Service	Who uses it
`bipe.net.br`	Matrix discovery: `/.well-known/matrix/client` only. Everything else is 404	Apps, at sign-in
`matrix.bipe.net.br`	Matrix homeserver (Synapse)	Apps
`account.bipe.net.br`	Sign-in and accounts (Matrix Authentication Service)	Apps
`api.bipe.net.br`	Bipe API: sign-up, invites, @handles, recovery, verification	Apps and the site
`push.bipe.net.br`	Push gateway (Sygnal). Only `/_matrix/push/*`	The homeserver
`rtc.bipe.net.br`	Voice and video calls (LiveKit)	Apps
`chat.bipe.net.br`	Web client (Element Web)	Browsers
`admin.bipe.net.br`	Staff console	Bipe staff only

What lives on bipe.chat

The site, in Portuguese at / and in English at /en/.
Profile links: bipe.chat/@handle.
Invite links: bipe.chat/convite/<code>.
Email links for recovery and email confirmation.
Terms and privacy.
The files that let the apps open these links: /.well-known/apple-app-site-association (iPhone) and /.well-known/assetlinks.json (Android).
The OAuth client URI of the apps. The sign-in service checks that the app's redirect scheme is the reverse of this host, so the app ID is chat.bipe.app.

Check it yourself

Matrix discovery on the server name:

curl https://bipe.net.br/.well-known/matrix/client

The answer names the homeserver, the sign-in service and the call service:

{
  "m.homeserver": { "base_url": "https://matrix.bipe.net.br" },
  "org.matrix.msc2965.authentication": {
    "issuer": "https://account.bipe.net.br/",
    "account": "https://account.bipe.net.br/account"
  },
  "org.matrix.msc4143.rtc_foci": [
    { "type": "livekit", "livekit_service_url": "https://rtc.bipe.net.br" }
  ]
}

There is no /.well-known/matrix/server. Federation is closed, so other Matrix servers do not look for Bipe.

Rules for links and IDs

People see and share only bipe.chat addresses.
Apps and code talk only to bipe.net.br hosts.
The server name is bipe.net.br. It never changes.
Certificates come from Let's Encrypt.
