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

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

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.
