Safex Wallet (Legacy Omni Layer)
The original Safex tokens (SAFEX) were issued on the Omni Layer protocol on Bitcoin in 2015. The OmniCore wallet v0.13.0 is the reference client for accessing any historical Omni-based SAFEX balances still on the Bitcoin blockchain. For other tokens, see the MaidSafeCoin wallet guide.
Important context
Safex later launched an independent blockchain and active SAFEX trading occurs on that native chain — not on Omni Layer. This page is specifically for users who need to access legacy Omni-based SAFEX still recorded on Bitcoin. For current Safex network activity, use a Safex-native wallet.
How to access legacy Safex on Omni Layer
- 1
Install OmniCore v0.13.0
Download the official wallet for Windows, macOS, or Linux. Verify the SHA-256 checksum.
- 2
Sync the Bitcoin blockchain
OmniCore is a full node; expect 24–72 hours of initial sync depending on hardware and bandwidth.
- 3
Import your old Bitcoin private key
Use importprivkey via the OmniCore console. Wait for the rescan to complete.
- 4
Query the SAFEX property ID
Run omni_getbalance "address" <propertyId> to view the legacy Safex balance still recorded on Bitcoin.
- 5
Migrate per Safex official guidance
If migrating to the Safex native chain, follow the project's official documentation — never share your private keys.
FAQ
What is Safex on Omni Layer?
Safex (SAFEX) was originally issued as an Omni Layer token on Bitcoin in 2015 to fund the Safe Exchange marketplace project. The Safex project later launched its own independent blockchain and migrated tokens off Omni — but the original Omni Layer SAFEX tokens still exist on Bitcoin.
Is Safex still on Omni Layer in 2026?
The original Safex tokens are still queryable on the Bitcoin blockchain via Omni Layer. However, the active Safex ecosystem has moved to its own chain. If you need to access pre-migration Omni-based SAFEX, OmniCore v0.13.0 can read those balances; for current Safex blockchain activity, use a Safex-native wallet.
Which wallet supports legacy Safex on Bitcoin?
OmniCore is the reference wallet for any Omni Layer token, including the historical Safex issuance. Import the original Bitcoin private key, sync the chain, and query the relevant property ID via omni_getbalance.
How do I recover old Safex tokens from Bitcoin?
Install OmniCore v0.13.0, fully sync the Bitcoin blockchain, import the WIF private key that controlled the address holding your Omni-based SAFEX, and use omni_getbalance to read the balance. For migration to the current Safex chain, follow Safex's official migration guidance.
