What is the fork? What are some of the types of forking?

In simple terms, updating a cryptocurrency protocol or code is called forking. Fork implies that a Blockchain splits into two branches. It can happen when the participants of the network cannot come to an agreement with regards to the consensus algorithm and new rules to validate transactions.

There are three types of forking:

Hard forks

Soft forks

Accidental forks
