🐛 [BUG] - RPC eth_estimateGas has no-standard-behaviour

[ifavo]

Description

While migration a hardhat project to the @vechain/sdk-hardhat-plugin a difference in the handling of eth_estimateGas occured.

Calling eth_estimateGas requires a second parameter for the block height, which is normally not required.

For example:

• https://docs.infura.io/api/networks/ethereum/json-rpc-methods/eth_estimategas
• https://www.quicknode.com/docs/ethereum/eth_estimateGas

Or test with ankr:

 curl -XPOST -s "https://rpc.ankr.com/eth" -H "content-type: application/json" -d '
{
    "jsonrpc": "2.0",
    "method": "eth_estimateGas",
    "params": [
        {
            "from": "0x37cce5c8bd6141cbe8172b277faa65af5cc83c6a",
            "data": "0x"
        }
    ],
    "id": "1"
}
' | jq

returns:

{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": "1",
  "result": "0xcf08"
}

The SDK throws an error on that call because a second parameter with a block reference is required:

Reproduction steps

Execute rpc request `eth_estimateGas` with params:


[
       {
            "from": "0x37cce5c8bd6141cbe8172b277faa65af5cc83c6a",
            "data": "0x"
        }
]


It should return a successful estimate instead of an error.
