Interesting that the verified 4-quintillion range is well within 64-bit integer math range (18 quintillion or 9 quintillion signed), no need to go beyond regular 64-bit computing any time soon.

Exactly. At this point WASM was the best choice for me to run the calculation with uint64 as I wasn't sure how much BigInt in JavaScript is efficient.
