Forking can either be an accidental chain split or a planned upgrade. Accidental forks occur when two miners find a block at nearly the same time, causing temporary divergence in the blockchain. These are usually resolved quickly as the network favors the longer chain. Planned upgrades, known as hard forks, introduce changes that are not backward compatible, requiring all participants to update their software to maintain consensus. This can lead to the creation of new cryptocurrencies if the community splits.
