Perlin is a blockchain project founded by Dorjee Sun, Kenta Iwasaki, and Ajay Prakash that pivoted from a DAG-based distributed ledger to tokenized ecological and real-world assets under PERL.eco. Perlin's Twitter Score is 20 out of 1000 as of July 2026, ranking #55,089 among 531,432 tracked accounts.
Perlin originally built Wavelet, a DAG-based distributed ledger designed to support WebAssembly smart contracts and decentralized applications. On March 20, 2020, the project indefinitely postponed Wavelet's public deployment, citing unresolved technical challenges, and announced that future enterprise work would be built on established platforms such as Ethereum. Prior to that pivot, Perlin had previously worked with the International Chamber of Commerce, Enterprise Singapore, Infocomm Media Development Authority, DBS Bank, and Trafigura to launch ICC TradeFlow, a blockchain platform for trade documentation whose announced pilot covered an iron-ore shipment worth $20 million. Perlin also previously worked with the Dubai Chamber of Commerce and Industry and, together with the ICC, established the Centre of Future Trade to develop and distribute blockchain products for international trade. Other published products included ICC Clarify, the International e-Registry of Ships, an Incoterms smart-contract suite, Noise, and Life.
Perlin conducted a 1:1 PERL smart-contract token swap beginning August 24, 2020, adding DAO, programmable-incentive, minting, and burning functionality and broadening compatibility with DeFi protocols. The project's documentation states that Binance selected PERL for a Binance Launchpad initial exchange offering, with the public sale occurring in August 2019 at $0.07743 per token. Binance delisted all PERL trading pairs on December 7, 2023. The PERL token currently serves as the DAO governance token for PERL.eco, used for voting on incentives, fee models, and distributions. In 2025, PERL.eco ran an Ethereum-mainnet burn-merge campaign through which burned PERL accrued allocations across DECASwap, Vultisig, Rujira, Yieldi, and WeWe, with official documentation confirming the campaign concluded.
Perlin previously received backing from Global Brain Corporation, Bitmain, FBG Capital, AU21 Capital, Kosmos Ventures, and Chain Capital. The account has published 596 posts and has been mentioned by 93 accounts a total of 197 times.
