Zach Perlman·engineer·Miami, FL
· workshop notes

Engineer at QuikNode building blockchain RPC and developer tooling used across the crypto ecosystem. I like building things that are fast, small, and a little weird — from referral-fee distribution smart contracts to raw-transaction sleuthing scripts. Web is fun.

Built the useful.

2026 · TypeScript · Solidity

poc-distribution

Referral fee distribution PoCs

Three parallel proofs-of-concept for scalable on-chain referral payouts: 1inch CumulativeMerkleDrop, Thirdweb Airdrop, and Splits Protocol. Live-tested on Polygon mainnet with gas benchmarks.

2025 · JavaScript · ethers.js

rawTxnAddressFinder

Raw transaction archaeology

JavaScript CLI that decodes raw Ethereum transactions and surfaces the signer address + nonce without needing an RPC. Great for forensics and cold-wallet recovery flows.

2025 · Next.js · MDX

zlerplabs.com

A personal sandbox

Long-running experiments blog — part playground, part portfolio, part accidental README. Runs on Next.js with a custom MDX pipeline and view-transitions-powered post navigation.

2026 · Go · TypeScript

QuikNode Core

Blockchain RPC at scale

Day-job work on the platform powering thousands of web3 teams — multi-chain RPC routing, archive-node query optimization, and streaming WebSocket subscriptions.
