deploying contracts to mainnet fails

[technophile-04]

Description:

When trying to deploy a contract mainnet it fails, it works for other networks like base or other but when you run:

yarn deploy --network mainnet 

It gives error something like this:

deploying "YourContract"invalid address (argument="address", value="", code=INVALID_ARGUMENT, version=address/5.8.0) {"reason":"invalid address","code":"INVALID_ARGUMENT","argument":"address","value":"","checkKey":"to","checkValue":"","transactionHash":"0xc6438d147ac1bc3e26683e9170b975707e41e670b0f6236267d5f41325b1dbd7"} Error: invalid address (argument="address", value="", code=INVALID_ARGUMENT, version=address/5.8.0)

After trying almost everything, I noticed that the only thing we don't change is the RPC that we are sending the tx to.

And then I tried to change the RPC. Looks like the alchemy RPC is causing the problem.

Just change the RPC to something like https://eth.drpc.org and the issue goes away magically!

This also explains why the issue was happening only on mainnet. I believe alchemy team has changed something in their mainnet RPC.

I don't know what Shiv and others think about this but at least until things get fixed, if they ever gonna be, I suggest moving off to another RPC.

Tysm Port for digging in 🙏, just created an issue on wighawag/hardhat-deploy#571. Let's see if it gets solved early, until then we can keep this issue open here and people can change the RPC manually to make it work on the mainnet.

If it takes more time then we could just hardcode drpc URL for mainnet 🙌

+1!

Thanks Port!

Temp fixed at #1130, we can track the main issue on wighawag/hardhat-deploy#571
