Forking prevention refers to mechanisms or design choices within a blockchain protocol aimed at minimizing the occurrence of network splits or divergent transaction histories. These measures help maintain a single, consistent version of the ledger, ensuring network stability and transaction finality. Techniques can include specific consensus algorithm rules, economic incentives, or protocol upgrades that discourage forks. Effective forking prevention is crucial for the reliability and trustworthiness of a digital asset network.

The debate typically involves balancing decentralization with the need for strong chain security and predictable operation. Successful forking prevention ensures the continued utility and value of digital assets by avoiding fragmentation and uncertainty.
