Facet co-founder Tom Lehman proposes incorporating EIP-8182 into the Ethereum Hegota upgrade. The proposal aims to introduce native privacy transfer capabilities for ETH and ERC-20 tokens through a protocol-level shielded pool. The scheme uses a UTXO design, with no administrator keys, pause mechanisms, or proxy contracts, and allows users to make private transfers directly to existing Ethereum addresses or ENS names. Lehman stated that this move is intended to address the issue of insufficient anonymity sets in application-layer privacy solutions, providing a unified privacy pool for wallets and applications.

ETH-0.29%
ENS-1.28%

Tom Lehman's move is significant, but the upgrade cycle of L1 and governance battles are the real tough challenges.

No pauses, no proxies, a truly decentralized privacy pool—that's what Ethereum should be like.

Protocol-level shielded pool, ETH is finally getting its own privacy infrastructure.

Can ENS also be used for private transfers? This greatly improves user-friendliness for regular users.

EIP-8182's UTXO design is quite clean, no admin keys—thumbs up, but the upgrade resistance isn't small, right?

Someone finally implemented privacy at the protocol layer. The anonymous set at the application layer is indeed too small. Looking forward to Hegota.
