Parallel cryptocurrency refers to a type of digital currency that operates on a parallel blockchain to an existing cryptocurrency. It can also refer to a parallel version of an existing cryptocurrency that has been created through a process called forking.
In some cases, parallel cryptocurrencies are developed by a community or group of developers who disagree with the direction or governance of an existing cryptocurrency. They may decide to create a parallel version with changes to certain features, rules, or parameters that they believe will enhance the currency's functionality or address perceived issues.
Parallel cryptocurrencies can also be created as a result of a hard fork, which is a split in the blockchain network due to fundamental disagreements among its community. This leads to the creation of a new cryptocurrency that shares a common history with its predecessor up until the fork point. The parallel cryptocurrency can have its own separate blockchain and can follow a different set of rules and protocols.
One notable example of a parallel cryptocurrency is Bitcoin Cash (BCH), which was created in 2017 as a result of a hard fork from the original Bitcoin (BTC). Bitcoin Cash was developed with larger block sizes, allowing for faster transactions and lower fees compared to Bitcoin.
Parallel cryptocurrencies offer an opportunity for innovation, experimentation, and addressing the limitations of existing cryptocurrencies. However, they can also lead to fragmentation in the cryptocurrency community and result in the creation of multiple competing versions of a cryptocurrency.
