Hello @toniengelhardt! I'm Dosu, a bot here to assist you with issues and questions you might have about the merklin repository. While we wait for a human maintainer to join us, feel free to ask me anything related to the project. I'm here to make your contributor experience smoother!

Sure, I can provide a general list of steps you might need to take when upgrading ethers.js from version 5.7.2 to 6.x.x. However, please note that this is a general guide and the specific changes you need to make will depend on how you're using ethers.js in your project.

1. Check the official ethers.js GitHub repository for a migration guide: The maintainers of ethers.js might have provided a migration guide for moving from version 5 to version 6. This guide would likely be in the repository's README or in the project's documentation.

2. Review the changelog for ethers.js version 6: The changelog will list all the changes made in version 6, including any breaking changes. You'll need to go through this list and identify any changes that affect the parts of ethers.js you're using in your project.

3. Update your package.json file: Change the version of ethers.js in your package.json file to 6.x.x.

4. Run your test suite: If you have a test suite for your project, run it to see if any tests fail. Any failing tests will give you a good indication of what you need to fix.

5. Update your code: Based on the breaking changes you identified in step 2 and any failing tests from step 4, update your code to work with ethers.js version 6.

6. Test your project: After you've made the necessary changes, test your project to make sure everything works as expected. This should include running your test suite again and doing some manual testing.

Remember, this is a general guide and the specific steps you need to take may vary. If you encounter any issues during the migration, feel free to ask for help.
