a fork happens when developers or stakeholders make a modification to the blockchain source code changing the rules that govern the blockchain and why is this necessary well think of it this way just like a train needs a mechanic to keep it running smoothly digital currencies need independent developers to make sure everything stays on track making changes and improvements to the network in other words a fork is like giving that train and upgrade it's a software update that can add new features or functions to the cryptocurrency likewise it's also possible for developers of a new cryptocurrency to use a fork to create entirely new currencies and ecosystems based on an existing cryptocurrency in this case it's like taking an old train model and building a whole new and hopefully better Railway system.
