Wire Federation

Wire Federation aims to allow multiple Wire-server backends to federate with each other: Users on on different backends are be able to interact with each other as if they are on the the same backend.

Federated backends are be able to identify, discover and authenticate one-another using the domain names under which they are reachable via the network. To enable federation, administrators of a Wire backend can decide to either specifically list the backends that they want to federate with, or to allow federation with all Wire backends reachable from the network. See Federation.
