Hard Fork is a former cryptocurrency and blockchain news brand that operated as a dedicated sub-brand of The Next Web, covering money, markets, and big tech. Hard Fork's Twitter Score is 16 out of 1000 as of August 2026, ranking #59,720 among 483,944 tracked accounts.
Hard Fork launched in 2018 as a standalone editorial brand within The Next Web, maintaining its own visual identity while drawing on TNW's editorial approach. Its initial team was led by editor Mix Dimitar alongside two other full-time writers. eToro previously provided financial backing and facilitated access to cryptocurrency creators, investors, and traders, while Hard Fork retained full editorial independence. TNW also described Hard Fork as one of its sub-brands and organized a blockchain conference in London under that umbrella in 2018.
Hard Fork has published 3,718 posts over its lifetime, though visible recent activity retrieved in mid-2026 was approximately three years old and largely pointed to general TNW technology coverage rather than dedicated cryptocurrency reporting, suggesting the brand is no longer actively publishing. Hard Fork currently has 2,226 followers as of August 2026 on the platform.
