As a result, one group continues to operate under the same rules while the other branches off and generates a new blockchain and digital currency. Hard forks can also occur as a result of a planned and agreed-upon protocol change. The difference between a hard fork and a soft fork is that soft forks do not result in a new blockchain. Soft forks are a change to the protocols, but the end product remains unchanged and are compatible with the previous, blockchain version. A hard fork is different from a soft fork, which is a protocol change that does not cause a rejection of the pre-existing rule set. A hard fork requires all network participants to upgrade to the new rule set and reject the old rules, while a soft fork will continue to accept transactions created by the old rule set.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
