Lesson Overview

4.14 – Blockchain Forks: Soft vs. Hard: Forks occur when a blockchain network splits into two separate paths due to differing rule sets or upgrades. A soft fork is a backward-compatible change, meaning older nodes can still recognize new blocks. A hard fork, by contrast, creates a permanent divergence that forms an entirely new chain. These events can arise from security upgrades, community disagreements, or feature improvements. Forks demonstrate the open-source and democratic nature of blockchain governance. They allow communities to evolve but can also create competing networks and duplicate assets. Understanding forks helps investors track version changes and evaluate which chain retains user trust and economic value.
