How long should addresses be? 256 is good, lets you encode a whole ec25519 key. 512 for expandability? 1 megabyte for post-quantum?

Why cap it at all?

If you can process 512 then you get access to those, else you don’t.

Let the free market decide where it’s comfortable like it did with wireless security.
