A soft fork is a backward-compatible update to a blockchain protocol. This means that nodes that haven’t updated the software can still process transactions, but may not be able to fully participate in the new features of the network. Soft forks are typically used for minor improvements, like reducing block size or adding new features without disrupting the network. A hard fork, on the other hand, is a permanent and incompatible change that results in a split into two separate blockchains. For example, Bitcoin Cash was created after a hard fork from Bitcoin, as it implemented a larger block size limit that Bitcoin’s network did not adopt.
