We'd like to migrate to Ethers for our client-side library to interact with the Ethereum blockchain. We believe this will provide a more stable experience for our users.

Basic Pros

  • Smaller uncompressed size
  • Outpacing Web3.js in weekly downloads
  • Many tests written
  • Some people report it being more stable
  • More frequent releases

Basic downsides

  • Single project maintainer
  • Fewer "Contributors"
  • Younger than Web3.
  • Relies on backers. Not backed by a non-profit like Web3.js is (Ethereum Foundation).

Some of our devs using Ethers in other projects have noted we have experienced more stable WalletConnect connections and also transaction responses.
