CryptoNews reports that Ethereum Draft EIP-8182 aims to make private transfers a native feature by adding shared privacy pools and zk precompiles, enabling ETH and ERC-20 transfers to become native to Ethereum in line with its 2026 privacy roadmap. The proposal was released by Tom Lehman, advocating that Ethereum should provide a shared privacy layer to break the current small, isolated anonymity sets and incompatible trust assumptions. The core of EIP-8182 is a protocol-managed system contract deployed at a fixed address, holding all state of the global privacy pool, including commitment trees, nullifier sets, user and delivery key registries, and more. The proposal also adds zk proof verification precompiles so clients can efficiently verify privacy transfer proofs. It explicitly states that end-to-end privacy still requires changes in mempool encryption, network layer anonymity, and wallet-side user experience, which are outside the scope of EIP-8182.
