A brief foray into v6
summary
Library moves to modern ES features and reduces dependencies from about ten to five, with a working v6 beta on GitHub and npm (npm install ethers@v6-beta). BigInts replace bignumber hoops; proxies enable runtime ABI disambiguation and typed contract interactions plus keyed-argument calls. Mono-repo pain is replaced by package exports for single-package tree-shaking. WebSocket provider now auto-reconnects and preserves event ordering, providers can pause/resume, and network plugins let weird chains shim gas, tx hash, or URL quirks.
