I have a question about  wallets which use different services to send/recieve bitcoin.  No client except the bitcoin-core client uses the full chain downloaded.

Will coin AT REST be safe in all these wallets which store the private keys on your device (not web based -etc).

Jaxx
Copay
mycelium
Electrum
multibit
etc,

For how long will they be safe?  Will any of these wallets, when a coin is spent, be using a different version?  Is there any timeline or statements from each of these wallets on their chain usage?  Copay uses Bitpay, etc.  maybe could someone put together a comprehensive list of which networks and what they will adopt?  

some info on electrum.

Any help or input would be great peace of mind!  thz

Add trezor to this list as hd wallet.
