[UX] Migrate from web3.js to ethers.js

[seichris]

This is a ✨ Cryptoxmas.xyz bounty✨

Every bounty DAI paid out will be matched as a donation to this Venezuelan Giveth Campaign

Problem

The user should be able to browse NFTs, using a web2 browser.

Proposed solution

Switch from web3.js to ethers.js library.

Prioritization

Its nice UX, but not needed for the launch.

@dakingha69 do you want to look into this?

How much time do you think you need to work on this?

[dohaki]

Should not be that much work to implement. Could look into this end of this week.

Hey @Elemino, as I'm currently updating escrow smart-contract (will update by tomorrow), you can ignore sending and claiming screens. Just connecting to Metamask via ethers and fetching tokens from smart-contract is enough for the scope of this issue :)

Hey! Can someone please recommend a minimum viable change that I can start with to test the waters and alert me about dependencies that may be indirectly affected by the change that I should know about? What about security/bug concerns? I'm looking to make a huge leap and dedicate myself entirely to this until bounty ends! I'll have more questions tomorrow.

p.s: I also noticed that Ethers.js is just about to publish a web3 to ethers migration doc. :)

Hi All, is there another PR that @Elemino is submitting for consideration of the Gitcoin bounty payout? If not, @Kisgus please review Elemino's latest submission and kindly provide an update here. Thanks!

[Kisgus]

Hey @hatgit I believe @Elemino will be submitting a new PR pretty soon, is that correctly understood?
Elemino and I have been I dialogue around this on telegram, as he is aware we are now about to merge our codebase with https://github.com/RadiCards/radi.cards which are not using react.js but vue.js.

[Elemino]

Yes. I am still working on this. Will submit PR soon.
