This EIP defines a minimal interface standard for privacy tokens on Ethereum.
While developing privacy solutions for the Ethereum ecosystem—including wrapper protocols (converting ERC-20 ↔ privacy tokens) and dual-mode tokens (combining public and private balances)—we identified a recurring need for standardized privacy primitives. Without a common interface, each implementation reinvents commitments, nullifiers, and note encryption, leading to ecosystem fragmentation.
This standard provides that common foundation. It enables:
contract DMT is ERC20, IZRC20By unifying the privacy token interface, we facilitate the development of wrapper and dual-mode protocols, accelerating Ethereum's privacy ecosystem growth.

Next Steps
I will add the reference implementation and test cases after receiving initial community feedback on the
specification.
