[jdevcs]

pls check failing unit tests should be passing before release, and these are not having any new error? @luu-alex

[luu-alex]

Had a discussion with @jdevcs it seems like the failing test of getTransactionFromBlock earliest is probably due to the rpc endpoint which is why its retuning null and doesnt seem to be an issue, all other failing test cases that are related to unit tests are unconsistent tests which are recognized as not a problem so ill continue with release
