BLS Signature
Boneh-Lynn-Shacham signature scheme on the BLS12-381 curve. The unique feature: any number of signatures over different messages from different signers can be aggregated into a single signature that verifies for the union. This is what lets Ethereum's beacon chain process attestations from a million validators per slot. Used by Ethereum consensus, Filecoin, Chia, and most modern ZK systems.
