The Block
Facet co-founder Tom Lehman proposed EIP-8182 to introduce native private ETH and ERC-20 transfers to Ethereum through the upcoming Hegota upgrade.Summary
Tom Lehman, co-founder of Facet, has proposed EIP-8182 for Ethereum’s upcoming Hegota upgrade, scheduled for late 2026. The proposal aims to integrate a protocol-managed shielded pool that enables native private transfers of ETH and ERC-20 tokens directly on the base layer. By using a shared UTXO-based pool, Lehman intends to solve the fragmentation issues that currently plague privacy solutions, ensuring a robust anonymity set that supports all Ethereum wallets and applications without requiring specialized addresses. This proposal joins other privacy-focused initiatives, such as EIP-8141 and EIP-8250, as part of the broader effort to enhance Ethereum's privacy infrastructure.
