## Overview

Fermion is unpublished prototype client software. It is listed separately
from Quantrix so the homeserver and the user-facing clients can be
classified independently.

## Features

- Element Web, Desktop, and Android hard forks
- Native secure core for desktop key custody
- Talks to a Quantrix homeserver rather than classical Matrix E2EE
- Planned QRL 2.0 login; not a public feature yet
