# 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 combines hashrate from ASIC and GPU miners to mine Bitcoin and several other coins. Miners connect through regional Stratum servers and receive daily automatic payouts under FPPS, PPS+ or PPLNS reward models, and merged mining adds a second coin without extra power use. A read-only Watcher Link, an API for mining software, VIP terms for large miners and a white-label option for partners running their own pools extend the service. (Pool Software, Live, Main Product) - [EMCD Hashport](https://thegrid.id/profiles/emcd): EMCD Hashport is a hosted Bitcoin mining service in which EMCD provides, hosts and maintains ASIC mining hardware in its data center on the user's behalf. Users choose a plan in their EMCD account, setup usually completes within a day, and mining rewards are credited to the account automatically. Hashrate, uptime and daily results are tracked live in the EMCD dashboard or mobile app, so users mine without owning or managing hardware. (Node Hosting, Live) - [EMCD Firmware](https://thegrid.id/profiles/emcd): EMCD Firmware is proprietary software for Antminer ASIC devices that replaces the device's default operating firmware. 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 the custodial multi-asset account of the EMCD platform, branded EMCD Coinhold Wallet, that stores, sends, receives and exchanges digital assets across multiple blockchain networks from one web and mobile sign-in. Its Grow savings product pays fixed yield on deposited crypto, and Borrow lends stablecoins against crypto collateral without the user selling it. The same account offers instant buys, an exchange with more than 200 trading pairs, peer-to-peer crypto-to-fiat trading and a payment card for spending balances worldwide. It also provides delegated staking for selected proof-of-stake assets and investment offerings in indexes, real-world assets and tokenized equities.
