## AI overview

This article introduces Matter, previously known as project CHIP, and explains how to get a first Matter application running on an ESP32. It covers Matter's application layer, supported networks and commissioning, the Matter SDK, sample examples, and initial setup using ESP-IDF release v4.3.

## Source excerpt

Introduction# Matter, previously project CHIP, is the new foundation for connected things. Guided by the Connectivity Standards Alliance, and developed through collaboration amongst all the leaders of the IoT industry, Matter focuses on building connected devices that are secure, reliable, and importantly, seamless to use. Espressif has been a part of the Matter initiative since early days, and we have been focusing on making it easy to develop and use Matter with Espressif's line of SoCs.
