PANews reported on May 25th that, according to The Block, Tom Lehman, co-founder of Layer 2 network Facet, has proposed including EIP-8182 in Ethereum's Hegota upgrade, scheduled for the second half of 2026. This proposal aims to provide Ethereum with native privacy transfer functionality for ETH and ERC-20 tokens through a protocol-level "Shielded Pool." EIP-8182 uses a UTXO architecture, eliminating the need for administrator keys, proxy contracts, or pause mechanisms, and verifies transactions using Groth16 zero-knowledge proofs. Lehman argues that current privacy protocols suffer from fragmented anonymity sets due to user fragmentation, weakening privacy protection. A unified protocol-level privacy pool can be shared by all wallets and applications. This solution supports privacy transfers to any existing Ethereum address or ENS name without requiring the creation of a dedicated privacy address. EIP-8182, along with EIP-8141 and EIP-8250, is currently a leading candidate proposal for upgrading the privacy infrastructure of Hegota.
