When a blockchain hard forks, it means that the original blockchain splits into two separate chains, each with their own set of rules and protocols. This happens because a group of users or developers disagrees with the existing rules of the blockchain and decides to make changes to the protocol. They then create a new blockchain, which is an exact copy of the original up until the point of the hard fork. From there, the new blockchain will continue to operate separately from the original, with its own set of rules and protocols. Since the split creates two separate versions of the blockchain, there can be a divergence in the transaction history and balance of digital currencies on both the chains. This can cause difficulties in maintaining the security and stability of the network and could potentially cause a disruption in the overall cryptocurrency market.
