Is there a data type to store 2^256 big integer numbers in variables in C#? As far as I know it exceeds the limit of BigInt.

12^256 does not exceed the limit of BigInteger – harold Feb 01 '20 at 14:10

1The `BigInteger` type is an immutable type that represents an arbitrarily large integer whose value in theory has no upper or lower bounds – Pavel Anikhouski Feb 01 '20 at 14:13

Assuming that you're talking about exact integers: BigInteger is arbitrarily large. However, it may also be possible to just use a quad of Int64, depending on the exact operations you need to perform.
