<a href="http://www.circleofgames.com/" rel="noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">Circle of Games (COG)</a>, has raised $1 million in equity funding from strategic investors&nbsp;<a href="https://www.nazara.com/" rel="noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">Nazara</a>&nbsp;Technologies FZ LLC, (a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Nazara Technologies Limited) and&nbsp;<a href="http://www.hashgraph-association.com/" rel="noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">The&nbsp;Hashgraph&nbsp;Association</a>, the Swiss-based organization at the forefront of global digital enablement for&nbsp;<a href="https://hedera.com/" rel="noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">Hedera</a>. Hedera is the world’s leading distributed ledger technology.   
Nazara is India’s largest and only listed gaming company with a presence across eSports, Sports Media, Gaming studios, and&nbsp;Adtech. The company recently pledged USD 100 million to invest in successful and innovative brands and IPs with&nbsp;cutting-edge technology in the Web3, Virtual Reality, and AI&nbsp;space.&nbsp;   
COG intends to use this funding to fast-track its go-to-market strategy, improve platform capabilities, and widen its international presence in the US, EU, Middle East, Africa, and Asia in 2024. With over 250,000 registered users, COG plans to expand its gaming portfolio from the current six games to over ten games by Q4 2024. Through this expansion, COG aims to target millions of gamers in the global casual and hyper-casual gaming community.   
Alongside the investment, COG remains committed to leveraging its existing strategic partnerships and collaborations with prominent Web3 projects and&nbsp;ecosystems worldwide, namely&nbsp;Chingari, Solana,&nbsp;Foundership,&nbsp;KGeN/IndiGG&nbsp;Metarun,&nbsp;TheFishVerse,&nbsp;Ninja&nbsp;Games&nbsp;and various Gaming Guilds/DAOs, among others. These partnerships provide COG unique and immediate access to a 500+Mn gaming community in 50+ countries.   
COG has implemented multi-chain technology, with Hedera being the primary&nbsp;mainnet&nbsp;where the majority of on-chain transactions occur, and is empowering players with full ownership and control over their in-game assets and tokens. COG is set to launch its native token ($COG Token) by the end of Q2, 2024, promising an enhanced and innovative user experience.&nbsp;   
Founded by veterans in the gaming &amp; tech space, COG develops casual and skilled-based games on the blockchain, with play-to-earn reward mechanics.&nbsp;

 Speaking about this alliance,&nbsp;Rabilal&nbsp;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&nbsp;Hashgraph&nbsp;Association, Stefan&nbsp;Deiss, Co-Founder &amp; CEO of The&nbsp;Hashgraph&nbsp;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”
