Fork
Fork happens when a cryptocurrency or blockchain-based network splits off into two separate projects with their own code and set of governing rules. There is a “soft” fork, only one blockchain will remain working, and a “hard” fork results in two new brand chains being operational. Bitcoin Classic is a hard fork of Bitcoin, so both cryptocurrencies run on divided blockchains, with their own miners, nodes, and network participants.
