We compiled
@ethereum privacy discussions and designs into one living map โ so anyone can see the privacy blueprint clearly: whatโs being designed, why it matters, and who is behind it.
Not an official roadmap. Continuously updated.

Core design
1) EIP-8182 โ shared private UTXO pool
Problem: app-level pools split liquidity โ private funds stay fragmented.
Vision: one protocol-owned shared pool that wallets and apps deposit into and spend from together.
How: shared note-commitment tree + nullifier set.
โ
2) EIP-8250 โ Keyed Nonce
Problem: privacy flows often share one public sender / sponsor; a single linear nonce bottlenecks throughput โ one inclusion can stall every other pending private spend.
Vision: concurrent, independent private spends without a shared-sender queue.
How: (nonce_keys, nonce_seq); non-overlapping keys are replay-independent (e.g. nullifier-derived keys).
โ
3) EIP-8141 โ Frame Transactions
Problem: bad UX for EOA users
Vision: support arbitrary user-defined definitions of validation and gas payment.
How: ordered frames โ verify frame ยท approve frame ยท execution frame.
Example: verify client proof + one time signature ยท approve trustless gas payemnt + execute call to privacy pool contract
โ
4) ERC-8302 โ pERC20 (private fungible tokens)
Requirments: bank wants to launch a private-stablecoin, informed by
@eth_systems's research.
Vision: stablecoins, RWA, or other assets may need privacy from day one.
How: a private fungible token standard with an ERC-20-shaped surface (transfer / approve / allowance / transferFrom).

5) Kohaku (EF) โ privacy wallet & SDK
Goal: make it easy for any wallet to integrate privacy.

โ Roadmap:
6) leanVM โ post-quantum proving & signatures
Problem: ECDSA, BLS, and pairing SNARKs eventually break.
Vision: hash-based signatures + PQ proof systems.
How: leanXMSS + signature aggregation + recursive STARKs.
โ
7) Privacy Core
Vision: value and addresses stay shielded in private transactions.
How: UTXO notes + client ZKPs; IVK scanning + one-time receive addresses.
