devs using ethers v5, will u be upgrading to ethers v6? or moving to viem?

What’s the story with viem?

I see good sponsors. Strong team. And no bignumber is nice.

Any other major benefits to be aware of?

Think I’m already on v6 ethers

Building getinboxzero.com and sharemint.xyz.

I also run a YouTube channel, "Learn from Open Source": youtube.com/elie2222 

other benefits to viem are extra type-safety, faster ens resolution, bundle size, also used in wagmi (important if you’re already using wagmi)

Ya using wagmi. What sort of migration curve is it?

How does it do ens faster

Ya i only use ethers functions I believe. Don’t think anything I do with it uses ethers state.

migration depends on how many ethers functions you’re using in your own code.

viem is fundamentally quite different to ethers in that there are no classes, and functions are generally stateless. as long as your code doesn’t depend on classes from ethers, it’s relatively simple.

as for ens resolution, viem uses the universalresolver for on-chain resolution. meaning it only takes 1 RPC call for resolving name/address/text/avatar. 
ethers doesn’t use that so takes 4-5+ calls. it could be implemented in the future but atm support for it isn’t there.
