Kiwi News bundle.js. It's sadly 2MB big and I'd like to reduce its size. But I don't see any obvious optimizations.

Can you migrate from Ethers to Viem?

I‘m open to it but what are the consequences and what do I gain?

Outside of the time to migrate, would check to see if there's any gaps in coverage for how you currently use Ethers (migration guide: https://viem.sh/docs/ethers-migration.html) but you'd likely see some benefits from a bundle size & performance standpoint: https://viem.sh/docs/introduction.html#bundle-size

I feel a bit sad for @ricmoo also: Why migrate from ethers, it's a good lib no?

I’d be curious to hear from real-world users what they prefer from one or the other. I personally use ethers (obviously) and am used to it, so maybe there are features missing? I’m always open to discussions though, if so. :)

First off, thank you so much for the amazing work on ethers! 🙌 So our use-case may not be that relevant but since we actually just use Wagmi Hooks and Rainbow, vs. Viem directly, making the change was almost purely about bundle size and speed.

na I don't have any obvious features missing, it's all good. One issue was definitely that in-between versions the EIP712 method name changed or something (I remember darkly). But I just looked at the viem bundler size savings and they aren't significant enough to switch.
