Looking like BLS threshold signatures can facilitate PoW block aggregation in a leaderless way to not give any one miner an advantage while producing rhythmic big blocks and facilitating parallelization.

This is my naive understanding. With BLS, nobody knows the result of the aggregate signature until enough small signed mined blocks come together. Individual PoW mined small block signature results are causal, but aggregate signature results are random until the threshold is achieved. Many small blocks propagate better than one big block.

Sorry, not following any of that - but I don't dabble in futures much. Do you have any sort of reference?
