Thanks for the comments David Truong. One of the primary differences is Boilertalk’s Web3.swift uses CryptoSwift, where as we prefer to use security libraries that have been well-proven in the security space for a long time (I’m sure CryptoSwift has a bright future, however I am always incredibly cautious about using brand new libraries, especially when related to security products with a high degree of trust).

We’ve both been working on these projects in parallel, and as such releasing them around similar times it is great for us to compare the differences and similarities in software development approaches.

Ours currently provides a higher-level of abstraction, though Boilerplate’s uses PromiseKit if that’s part of your current approach.

We are constantly making updates with the community in-mind as we build Argent, so it’s likely to change quickly as we start to engage other developers.
