What are forks In Blockchain Technology?

Friends as we all know that the blockchain technology is advancing the various platforms because it composed of various blocks and each of them are interconnected with each other. In the past few years the blockchain technology has gained a lot of popularity among the different sectors of our lives because it provides high level of security, privacy and transparency to the platforms which are based on the blockchain and decentralized technology.

Just like other traditional platforms, the blockchain based platforms also requires some updates, changes and improvement within the network. So in this aspect the fork is a very important process to be discussed. In the blockchain technology when the network and its protocols splits into two parts or different paths, then that process is known as blockchain forks. In this process the blockchain diverge into two parts and make a separate blockchain network.

What happens when blockchain forks?

Yes when a blockchain forks it provides several changes within the network. Sometimes it comes with several severe consequences which can affect the working of network both positively and negatively as well. Let's have a look at some points which happen when a Blockchain is forked.

• First of all the network splits into two different parts and each parts holds specific activities.

• When a blockchain forks the transactions which are present over the previously existing network can also be divided.

• Then the dived part of blockchain network can validate the transactions separately and differently from the other part of network.

• It can cause division and disagreement between the development team of that Blockchain network which can affect negatively.

• During the forks the Blockchain network can create new cryptocurrency which can be divided among the participants of previous network.

What are primary reason behind Blockchain forks?

Yes there can be several reasons behind the Blockchain forks. Now lets discuss about some basics reasons which can lead a Blockchain network towards forks and what changes it can bring in it.

• New updates, upgrades and the addition of New features can cause the Blockchain forks.

• The upgradation of blockchain protocols which enhance the scalability, security and transparency of network make the network more efficient.

• The disagreements between the network participations and the developing team can cause Blockchain forks.

• The other challenges such as network congestion, security issues and scalability issues can boost Blockchain forks.

• Also a sudden change or implementations of new policies by The team can lead a Blockchain network towards forks.

So friends that was my entry about that topic and I hope you will enjoy reading it. Now it is a time to say goodbye to everyone and I want to invite my friends @mona01, @jannat12 and @radleking to take a part in this amazing contest.
