 ## Why uuid58?
 
 Standard UUIDs are 36 characters long (including hyphens), which can be
-cumbersome in URLs or when space is limited. Base58 encoding reduces this to
-around 22 characters while maintaining uniqueness and using only URL-safe
+cumbersome in URLs or when space is limited. Base58 encoding reduces this to a
+fixed 22 characters while maintaining uniqueness and using only URL-safe
 characters. The Base58 alphabet used in this library is the same as Bitcoin's,
 which excludes similar-looking characters (0, O, I, l) to prevent visual
 ambiguity and confusion.
