EIP-8182 proposes introducing Ethereum-native privacy transfers in the Hegotá hard fork.

CoinFeed reported on June 12th, citing FinanceFeeds, that Ethereum developers are evaluating the EIP-8182 proposal, which plans to introduce native privacy transfers for ETH and ERC-20 tokens via a Hegotá hard fork. Created by Facet co-founder Tom Lehman on March 3, 2026, the proposal is a Draft Standards Track Core EIP and has not yet been finalized or scheduled for inclusion in an upgrade. Hegotá is the next upgrade after Glamsterdam and is expected to focus on infrastructure and protocol layer improvements. The core of EIP-8182 is to create a canonical shielded pool system contract at the protocol layer, allowing users to deposit ETH or ERC-20 tokens and spend them using zero-knowledge proofs.
