[Facet Co-Founder Proposes Including EIP-8182 in Ethereum's Hegota Upgrade to Introduce Native Privacy Transfer Functionality] According to The Block, Tom Lehman, co-founder of the Layer 2 network Facet, has proposed including EIP-8182 in Ethereum's Hegota upgrade, scheduled for implementation in the second half of 2026. The proposal aims to provide native privacy transfer functionality for ETH and ERC-20 tokens on Ethereum through a protocol-level 'Shielded Pool.' EIP-8182 is designed using a UTXO architecture, without admin keys, proxy contracts, or pause mechanisms, and verifies transactions via Groth16 zero-knowledge proofs. Lehman believes that current privacy protocols suffer from fragmented anonymity sets due to user dispersion, weakening privacy protection. A unified protocol-level shielded pool could be shared across all wallets and applications.
