ME News reports that on May 25 (UTC+8), Tom Lehman, co-founder of the L2 network Facet, proposed incorporating EIP-8182 into the Ethereum Hegota upgrade to enable native private ETH and ERC-20 transfers. The proposal plans to deploy the privacy pool as a system contract using a UTXO-based design, with no admin keys, proxies, or pause mechanisms; spending is validated through fork-managed Groth16 BN254 proofs. Lehman noted that existing privacy solutions suffer from structural flaws: insufficient user adoption undermines effective anonymity, while multiple competing pools fragment the anonymity set. EIP-8182 would provide a unified, shared privacy pool for all wallets and applications on Ethereum, enabling transfers to any Ethereum address or ENS name without requiring separate private address formats. Currently, three proposals are seeking inclusion in Hegota to address the same privacy infrastructure layer, including EIP-8141 and EIP-8250. (Source: Foresight News)
