AntPool

AntPool is one of the largest and most well-known cryptocurrency mining pools in the world. It was founded in 2013 by Bitmain Technologies, a prominent manufacturer of mining hardware. AntPool is headquartered in Beijing, China.

As a mining pool, AntPool allows miners to collectively contribute their computing power to mine various cryptocurrencies, including Bitcoin (BTC), Bitcoin Cash (BCH), Ethereum (ETH), Litecoin (LTC), and more. By combining their resources, miners increase their chances of successfully mining blocks and earning rewards.

AntPool offers different mining modes such as Pay Per Share (PPS), Full Pay Per Share (FPPS), and Pay Per Last N Shares (PPLNS). These modes determine how rewards are distributed among the participating miners.

Over the years, AntPool has maintained a significant share of the global mining power for several cryptocurrencies. It has been recognized as one of the leading mining pools in terms of hash rate and has consistently ranked among the top pools in terms of the number of blocks mined.
