Pirate Chain (ARRR) team planned an update to their wallet server to the new version 5.8.0 of Pirate Chain full node this weekend. Version 5.8.0 included breaking changes to both wallet structures and the block database. Any wallet updated to 5.8.0 will not be compatible with older clients.
This version requires a full reindex of the chain, so some users may experience service interruption while it is reindexing.
Your funds are safe!
As always, any wallets inside Edge is totally non-custodial, including Pirate Chain (ARRR) wallets.
So, even if you might experience sync issues and wallets might show zero balance and / or no transaction lists, it doesn't mean you lost your funds.
In fact, the wallet will simply need to catch up the transaction history and get your balance once the update is out and the server is fully synced.
Furthermore, in the event the update will take more time than just a couple of days, if you are in a hurry you can always export your seed from Edge Wallet and import them into an alternative app with an already fully synced node.
