Quantum Computing
A future computing model crypto is preparing for.
Quantum computers attack problems differently from classical machines, and at scale they could threaten today's signature schemes, which is why post-quantum cryptography is an active field.
Mining hashes are considered far more quantum-resistant than signatures. Some projects explore the theme directly: QubitCoin builds its proof of work around quantum-circuit simulation, and Quantus signs every transaction with ML-DSA, a post-quantum signature scheme.
