What are Network Upgrades and Hard Forks?
- Network Upgrade: Think of it like a software update for the blockchain. It aims to fix bugs or enhance performance. Everyone on the network continues on the same blockchain.
- Hard Fork: This is a more significant change, splitting the blockchain into two separate paths. Users and miners must decide which new blockchain to follow.
By supporting these updates, Binance ensures its users enjoy a smooth and efficient experience on its platform, staying ahead in the fast-evolving crypto landscap
