Circle of Games (COG), the leading Web3 multi-gaming platform, has raised $1 million in equity funding from strategic investors Nazara Technologies FZ LLC (a wholly-owned subsidiary of Nazara Technologies Limited) and The Hashgraph Association, a Swiss-based nonprofit corporation at the center of global digital enablement for Hedera. The most popular distributed ledger technology in the world is Hedera. It points to the possibility of a Web3 gaming Renaissance. Nazara is the sole listed gaming company in India and the largest in terms of eSports, sports media, gaming studios, and adtech. The business recently promised to invest USD 100 million in cutting-edge brands and IPs in the web3, virtual reality, and artificial intelligence spaces.
With this funding, COG hopes to expand internationally in the Middle East and Africa, Asia, the United States, and the European Union in 2024. Furthermore, it looks to expedite its go-to-market strategy and enhance platform capabilities. By Q4 2024, COG, which has over 250,00 registered users, intends to increase the number of games available on its platform from the current six to over ten. COG hopes to reach millions of players in the worldwide casual and hyper-casual gaming scene with this expansion.
In addition to the investment, COG is dedicated to utilizing its current network of strategic alliances and partnerships with leading global Web3 projects and ecosystems, including TheFishVerse, KGeN/IndiGGMetarun, Chingari, Solana, Foundership, and numerous Gaming Guilds/DAOs. With these alliances, COG has immediate and exclusive access to more than 500 million gamers across more than 50 nations.
By implementing multi-chain technology, COG is giving players complete ownership and control over their in-game assets and tokens, with Hedara serving as the main net where the majority of on-chain transactions take place. By the end of Q2 2024, COG plans to launch its native token, the $COG Token, offering a better and more creative user experience. COG, a blockchain-based game development company founded by veterans of the gaming and tech industries, creates skill- and casual-based games featuring play-to-earn reward systems.
Through its Distribution Infrastructure Network (DIN), COG will have numerous opportunities to utilize these resources globally as a result of this partnership. A key component of COG’s multi-gaming platform, the DIN is intended to efficiently globalize the distribution and monetization of gaming content.
Rabilal Thapa, CEO and Co-Founder of Circle of Games, said,
“This strategic partnership not only represents a significant endorsement of COG’s mission and potential but also places the company in a prime position to exploit the expansive capabilities of Web3 gaming innovations, globally. This collaboration goes beyond mere capital investment; Nazara will offer strategic guidance, support and access to its extensive network to help the company grow and Hedera will provide COG access to their vast collections of games, ecosystems, and substantial users and their cutting-edge technology. I would like to express my sincere gratitude to Nazara, Kamal Youssefi, President of The Hashgraph Association, Stefan Deiss, Co-Founder & CEO of The Hashgraph Group – the service delivery and venture building arm of THA and Anindya Roychowdhury, Head of Ventures of THG (whose relationship with Nazara goes back 25 years), for their invaluable and comprehensive support in the development of this strategic partnership”
