According to The Block, Tom Lehman, co-founder of Layer2 network Facet, proposed to include EIP-8182 in Ethereum's Hegota upgrade planned for the second half of 2026. This proposal provides privacy transfer functionality for ETH and ERC-20 tokens through a protocol level "Shielded Pool", designed with UTXO architecture, without administrator keys, proxy contracts, or pause mechanisms, and uses Growh16 zero knowledge proof to verify transactions. Lehman stated that a unified protocol level privacy pool can solve the problem of anonymous sets being fragmented due to user dispersion in current privacy protocols, and can be shared and used by all wallets and applications.
