A fork in cryptocurrency occurs when a blockchain diverges into two separate paths, either temporarily or permanently. Forks can happen due to protocol upgrades, disagreements within the community, or attempts to fix security issues. There are two main types: hard forks, which create a permanent split, and soft forks, which are backward-compatible upgrades.
