What A Compliant Platform Is
- A Matter-compliant platform is an SDK plus hardware certified by the Connectivity Standards Alliance.

Matter Is An IP-Based Interoperability Layer
- Matter is an open IP-based communication protocol that sits on top of transport layers like Wi‑Fi, Thread, and Ethernet.
- It enables cross-vendor interoperability so devices from different makers can communicate correctly.
Follow Ecosystem Migration Paths
- Check your existing ecosystem providers for Matter migration paths before redesigning hardware.
- Follow their provided migration steps to add Matter devices to your network with minimal rework.
