chore(deps-dev): bump hardhat from 2.0.11 to 2.8.0

[dependabot]

Bumps hardhat from 2.0.11 to 2.8.0.

Release notes

Sourced from hardhat's releases.

Hardhat v2.8.0

This release adds support for using a custom hardfork history when forking networks that aren't officially supported by Hardhat (networks like xDai, Polygon, Avalanche, etc.) This is only relevant if you are forking one of those networks and making calls in the context of historical blocks. You can read more about this here.

This version also fixes a small problem with the output of the node task when it was redirected to a file (#467).

Hardhat v2.7.1

This release adds support for the Arrow Glacier hardfork.

Besides, it fixes an issue (#1466) that prevented Hardhat from working when the compilers list was partially downloaded.

Hardhat v2.7.0

This release adds a FIFO mode to Hardhat Network's mempool and makes the coinbase address customizable. It also includes some minor bug fixes and improvements.

Mempool modes

The way Hardhat Network's mempool orders transactions is now customizable. By default, they are prioritized following Geth's rules, but you can enable a FIFO (first in, first out) mode instead. This mode ensures that transactions are added to blocks in the same order they are sent, and it's useful to recreate blocks from other networks.

You can enable the FIFO mode in your config with:

networks: {
  hardhat: {
    mining: {
      auto: false,
      mempool: {
        order: "fifo",
      },
    },
  },
}

Huge thanks to @​ngotchac for this contribution!

Customizable coinbase address

You can configure the coinbase address via a config field and a new RPC method. This is the address that will receive the block reward when a new block is mined.

The config field is part of the Hardhat Network configuration:

networks: {
  hardhat: {
    coinbase: "0x590c193534A11590b1BcE02896d2805bAC54Da2C"
  },
},

You can also use the new hardhat_setCoinbase RPC method to change the coinbase address in runtime:
