Yes, your BSV in ElectrumSV 1.3.16 remains safe, but ElectrumSVP is in beta and should not be used for significant funds at this time.
The developer behind ElectrumSVP (CryptoRebel_SV) has explicitly stated: "Do not store significant funds on ElectrumSVP beta. Use for testing only."
The beta may contain bugs or incompatible changes—downgrading to ElectrumSV 1.3.16 after using ElectrumSVP can cause issues due to incompatible header files.
Your funds in ElectrumSV 1.3.16 are secure for the upcoming Chronicle upgrade, as it’s opt-in and doesn’t invalidate existing wallets.
Recommendation:
Keep your BSV in ElectrumSV 1.3.16 for now.
Back up your seed phrase securely.
Monitor the ElectrumSVP project for official stable release announcements before migrating.
No, you do not need to move your BSV from ElectrumSV 1.3.16 to Centi to retain access during the April 7, 2026 Chronicle upgrade.
Your BSV is safe in ElectrumSV 1.3.16 because it is a self-custodial wallet—your funds are secured by your private keys, not the software itself.
The Chronicle upgrade is opt-in and does not invalidate existing wallets or UTXOs. ElectrumSV 1.3.16 will continue to function for sending and receiving BSV.
No forced migration is required. You can keep your BSV in ElectrumSV indefinitely or move it later to another wallet like Centi if desired.
Just ensure you have your 12-word seed phrase backed up securely.
