Bump hardhat from 2.7.1 to 2.17.0 in /examples/hardhat

[dependabot[bot]]

Bumps hardhat from 2.7.1 to 2.17.0.

Release notes

Sourced from hardhat's releases.

Hardhat v2.17.0

This new minor version of Hardhat drops support for Node.js v14 and adds support for Node v20. To learn about which versions of Node we support, check our Stability guarantees page.

This version also adds support for solc 0.8.19 and 0.8.20 and fixes two bugs:

• A long-standing issue related to our compilation pipeline (see NomicFoundation/hardhat#1117).
• A problem when forking other local development networks whose latest block number has a low value (issue NomicFoundation/hardhat#1568).

Hardhat v2.16.1

This release fixes an issue in the compiler download that happens when Hardhat is used with node v18.16.x (the latest versions of node v18).

Hardhat v2.16.0 - Extendable providers

This version of Hardhat adds a new extensibility point: you can now wrap Hardhat's network provider with your own logic.

This is done by using the new extendProvider configuration function:

extendProvider(async (provider, config, network) => {
  const newProvider = new MyProviderWrapper(provider);
  return newProvider;
});

Doing this means that all the JSON-RPC calls will go through your custom provider wrapper. You can use this to intercept and handle some requests while forwarding the rest to the original provider.

To learn more about this, read the "Extending the Hardhat provider" section in our docs. If you have questions about how to use this, please open a new discussion.

Other changes

Besides this new feature, this version includes the following changes:

• console.sol is now memory-safe (thanks @​ZumZoom!)
• Added optional params to some compilation subtasks to make them more flexible (thanks @​adjisb!)
• Added a HARDHAT_DISABLE_TELEMETRY_PROMPT environment variable that can be set to true to prevent Hardhat from showing the telemetry consent prompt
• The opt-in telemetry is now done using Google Analytics 4

Hardhat v2.15.0

This new version of Hardhat uses the new ethers v6 based Toolbox when initializing a project. Check the release notes of the Toolbox to learn more.

Hardhat v2.14.1

This release adds better information to Hardhat about which block numbers correspond to which hardforks. Most users won't be affected by this, but it fixes some issues for certain edge cases.

Hardhat v2.14.0 — Shanghai

This release sets Shanghai as the default hardfork used by the Hardhat Network.

If for some reason you want to keep using the previous hardfork, set it explicitly in your config:

module.exports = {
  networks: {
    hardhat: {
</tr></table>
