The key difference between a hard fork and a soft fork in blockchain technology is that a hard fork creates a permanent divergence in the blockchain, with the new version of the blockchain no longer being compatible with the older version. This often results in two separate blockchains. In contrast, a soft fork is a change that is backward-compatible, meaning nodes running the old software will still be able to interact with nodes running the new software. The introduction of new features or rules in a soft fork is typically done in a way that does not invalidate transactions or blocks created with the old rules. Ari Quiz.
