Description

There are certain usages in crypto for uint256.
Worth checking to make the type a first-class citizen instead of using bytes for the calculation.

Research direction

The issue names no file, test, or entry point. Start by mapping Pinot's existing data type handling and the bytes-based calculation path, then determine the required Int256 support for the crypto usages described; done means Int256 is treated as a first-class type rather than bytes.
