[Proposal EIP-8182 to Introduce Native Ethereum Privacy Transfers in the Hegotá Hard Fork] According to FinanceFeeds, Ethereum developers are evaluating the EIP-8182 proposal, which plans to introduce native privacy transfers for ETH and ERC-20 tokens through the Hegotá hard fork. The proposal was created by Facet co-founder Tom Lehman on March 3, 2026, and is classified as a Draft Standards Track Core EIP. It has not yet been finalized or scheduled for inclusion in an upgrade. Hegotá is the next upgrade following Glamsterdam and is expected to focus on infrastructure and protocol-level improvements. The core of EIP-8182 is to establish a canonical shielded pool system contract at the protocol level, allowing users to deposit ETH or ERC-20 tokens and spend tokens using zero-knowledge proofs.
