Blockchain A to Z - F: Forks

Blockchain A - Z covers all of the important topics you need to know if you're just getting into blockchain! We go letter by letter with each episode defining a specific topic. By the end of the series, you'll know your blockchain ABCs!

A fork is a situation where a blockchain splits into two separate chains, causing the creation of an ongoing alternative version of the blockchain, by creating two blocks simultaneously on different parts of the network. Forks generally happen in the crypto-world when new ‘governance rules’ are built into the blockchain’s code. This creates two parallel blockchains, where one of the two is the winning blockchain. The winning blockchain gets determined by its users, the majority choosing on which blockchain their clients should be following.
