[Dargon789]

Snyk has created this PR to fix 1 vulnerabilities in the yarn dependencies of this project.

Snyk changed the following file(s):

• package.json

Note for zero-installs users

If you are using the Yarn feature zero-installs that was introduced in Yarn V2, note that this PR does not update the .yarn/cache/ directory meaning this code cannot be pulled and immediately developed on as one would expect for a zero-install project - you will need to run yarn to update the contents of the ./yarn/cache directory.
If you are not using zero-install you can ignore this as your flow should likely be unchanged.

⚠️ Warning

Failed to update the yarn.lock, please update manually before merging.

Code Review

This pull request upgrades ethers from version 5.4.2 to 6.0.0 to address a security vulnerability. This is a major version upgrade with significant breaking changes. Merging this PR without updating the application code that relies on ethers will break functionality. The migration from ethers v5 to v6 involves substantial API changes, including the move to native BigInt from BigNumber.js, and changes to Providers, Signers, and utility functions. A thorough migration of the codebase is required before this can be merged.
