# Adding a Matrix proof
Let's add a decentralized Matrix proof to your OpenPGP keys.
[[toc]]
### Sending a proof message
After logging in into Matrix, join the
[#doipver:matrix.org](https://matrix.to/#/#doipver:matrix.org) room and send the
following message (make sure to replace FINGERPRINT)
```
[Verifying my OpenPGP key: openpgp4fpr:FINGERPRINT]
```
Click on "View Source" for that message, you should now see the value for
`room_id` and `event_id`.
The value for `room_id` should be `!dBfQZxCoGVmSTujfiv:matrix.org`. The value
for `event_id` is unique to your message.
If your Matrix client does not support "View Source", choose "Share" or
"Permalink". The URL obtained should look like this:
```
https://matrix.to/#/ROOM_ID/EVENT_ID?via=...
```
### Update the PGP key
First, edit the key (make sure to replace FINGERPRINT):
```
gpg --edit-key FINGERPRINT
```
Add a new notation:
```
notation
```
Enter the notation (make sure to replace USER_ID, ROOM_ID, EVENT_ID):
```
proof@metacode.biz=matrix:u/USER_ID?org.keyoxide.r=ROOM_ID&org.keyoxide.e=EVENT_ID
```
So, for user `@foo:matrix.org`, this would be:
```
proof@metacode.biz=matrix:u/@foo:matrix.org?org.keyoxide.r=!dBfQZxCoGVmSTujfiv:matrix.org&org.keyoxide.e=$3dVX1nv3lmwnKxc0mgto_Sf-REVr45Z6G7LWLWal10w
```
Save the key:
```
save
```
Upload the key to WKD or use the following command to upload the key to
[keys.openpgp.org](https://keys.openpgp.org) (make sure to replace FINGERPRINT):
```
gpg --keyserver hkps://keys.openpgp.org --send-keys FINGERPRINT
```
And you're done! Reload your profile page, it should now show a Matrix account.
