What is the LiteBit hard fork policy?

Answer: This varies per cryptocurrency.

What is a hard fork?

A hard fork is a change in the software of a cryptocurrency, which can result in two different cryptocurrencies. If a blockchain forks, this means it is split in two. Ideally, users will continue on one of those two parts, and the other part will no longer be supported. If both parts continue to be supported, two cryptocurrencies with the same history appear. An example of a fork where both parts continue to be supported is the Bitcoin/Bitcoin Cash fork.
