  Oh, you're asking about successful hard forks in the crypto world? Well, one that comes to mind is Ethereum Classic (ETC). It was created as a result of a controversial hard fork in the Ethereum blockchain. The hard fork was initiated to reverse the effects of a hack that resulted in the theft of millions of dollars worth of Ether. However, a group of Ethereum users disagreed with the decision to reverse the hack and decided to continue supporting the original Ethereum blockchain, which became Ethereum Classic. Despite the controversy, Ethereum Classic has managed to establish itself as a separate cryptocurrency with a dedicated community of supporters.
