Vitalik has said using 256-bit word sizes in the EVM was his biggest regret from the early days of Ethereum. As others have mentioned, it was largely chosen because of the ubiquity of 32 byte hashes. But overkill for regular math. One pernicious issue is that it makes translating existing smart contracts into ZK rollups really challenging because 256 but arithmetic blows up the circuit size. https://www.theblockcrypto.com/post/116413/vitalik-buterin-r... |
