Network upgrades and hard forks are two common processes in the development of altcoins. Network upgrades are planned improvements in the <a href="https://newslinker.co/category/technology/" data-wpel-link="exclude">technology</a> and features of an altcoin. A hard fork is a significant protocol change that causes a permanent divergence in the transaction history of a Blockchain. 
Network upgrades refer to improvements or changes made to the core technology, protocol, or features of an altcoin’s network, while a hard fork is a significant change in a Blockchain network’s protocol that makes previously invalid transactions valid, or vice versa. Network upgrades can include enhancements in security, scalability, privacy, and functionality, while a hard fork involves a differentiation in the Blockchain’s transaction history.
