# EMCD > Earn, save, trade, and mine via a pool in one crypto app EMCD is a crypto platform built around a globally ranked Bitcoin mining pool, offering wallet, savings, P2P trading, staking, and payment services for miners, investors, and traders. EMCD is a crypto platform centered on a globally ranked Bitcoin mining pool, providing an integrated set of tools for mining, saving, and trading digital assets from a single account. It serves miners seeking pool payouts alongside investors and traders looking for savings, exchange, and payment functionality in one place. The platform is aimed at both individual users and businesses seeking white label mining and API infrastructure. The mining pool supports merged mining across multiple coins and remote hosting for mining hardware, distinguishing the platform from services focused solely on retail finance. Around this core, EMCD layers a multi-asset wallet, a savings product offering daily payouts, zero fee peer to peer trading, and an instant swap function covering a range of supported assets. Crypto backed loans and staking for select assets round out the offering, letting users move funds between products without leaving the platform. Flagship offerings include the EMCD mining pool, the EMCD Wallet, and Coinhold, its savings product, alongside P2P trading, an exchange, loans, and a payment card. The platform also provides developer facing APIs for fintechs and Web3 businesses wanting to build on its infrastructure. It is used by individual miners, retail crypto investors, traders, and partner businesses across multiple countries. - Type: Company - Sector: Finance - Status: Active - Founded: 2017-01-01 - Profile: https://thegrid.id/profiles/emcd ## Products - [EMCD Mining Pool](https://thegrid.id/profiles/emcd): EMCD Mining Pool is a proof-of-work mining pool that aggregates computational power from participants to mine Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies.

Hardware is sourced from manufacturers, and daily mining proceeds are credited to the user's EMCD account. The service covers hardware procurement, on-site setup, and ongoing maintenance, with remote monitoring available through the app or web interface. A deferred payment option allows users to begin mining with a partial upfront payment before committing to the full hardware cost.

The software adjusts device parameters to reduce electricity consumption and increase effective hashrate output. It includes built-in antivirus protection designed to defend connected hardware against malicious programs targeting mining devices. (Node Software, Live) - [EMCD Account](https://thegrid.id/profiles/emcd): EMCD Account is a custodial multi-asset platform account that stores, sends, receives, and swaps digital assets across multiple blockchain networks through a single login and dashboard. From the same account, users access savings under the Coinhold or Grow brand for daily-credited yield, peer-to-peer crypto-to-fiat trading, a centralized exchange for instant swaps, fiat on and off ramps, a crypto-backed lending product called OnLock, and a linked spending card. The account also provides delegated staking for select proof-of-stake assets, an index and real-world-asset investment offering marketed as Indesk or Portfolio, and tokenized U.S. equities and pre-IPO exposure branded xStocks, all settled through the same trading account. Every capability is reached through the shared web and mobile sign-in rather than a separate account or standalone application.
