EIP-8182 proposes introducing native Ethereum private transfers in the Hegotá hard fork
Summary
Ethereum developers are evaluating EIP-8182, a draft proposal that would add native private transfers for ETH and ERC-20 tokens through the upcoming Hegotá hard fork. The design uses a shielded pool system, zero-knowledge proofs, and a UTXO-style model to improve privacy at the protocol layer. The proposal aims to reduce the weaknesses of application-layer privacy tools, such as small anonymity sets and governance risk. Core developers still need to review the cryptographic assumptions, state growth, and denial-of-service risks before anyone can include it in an upgrade.
