About Perlin :
Perlin is a distributed ledger, hardening and generalizing the Avalanche consensus protocol: a partially-synchronous Byzantine-fault-tolerant protocol built on a metastable mechanism over a directed-acyclic-graph (DAG) to achieve extremely high throughput and scalability. It aims to build a distributed computing platform where underutilized computing resources can be commodified into highly parallel batches of computing power, which can be utilized for tasks such as analyzing big data and machine learning modules.
Token metrics (my best guess) :
Total tokens supply = 1,000,000,000
Available for token sale = 32–35% (approx.)… updated on 5th July
Estimate ETH raised/ targeted from all rounds and ETH/USD peg rate :
Seed = 500–750 ETH (@ ETH peg at 800 USD)
Strategic round = 37, 500–40,000 ETH (@ ETH peg at 600–650 USD) [XX month lock-up]
Private round = 40,000 ETH (@ ETH peg at 450–500 USD)… updated from 30K to 40K on 5th July [3 months lock-up]
Crowd sale = 5,000–7,500 ETH (@ ETH peg at ~700 USD depends on market price in August 2018) or may cancel entirely the crowd sale round

Important note (updated on 1st July):: Based on recent activity in Perlin contribution address, we believe 2 different outcomes - either canceling crowd sale round or it could mean the late arrival of funds for strategic round contribution from some venture capital. This may change the token metrics figures.

Estimate token price (USD per PERL) :
Seed = 0.05 USD per PERL
Strategic round = 0.12 USD per PERL
Private round = 0.20 USD per PERL
Crowd sale = 0.25 USD per PERL or may cancel entirely the crowd sale round
Total ETH fundraising target from all rounds = 82,500–87,500 ETH
Our rating: 3.0 out of 5.0 (not final yet)
Token metrics: 2 / 5 (could change either way after official announcement)
Technology / project : 4 / 5
Team : 3 / 5 (highly experienced in Blockchain space: check out the bottom section of this post to look at LinkedIn profiles of some of the Perlin employees/advisors)
Popularity : 3 / 5 [ mostly negative talks for fundraising strategies ]
Partnership backing/adoption: 3 / 5 [ project code highly liked by the developer community, may have a good number of people joining the network ]
Strategy & its execution: Too early to rate
Communication/community engagement: Too early to rate (so far not great)
