We're bumping from `^6` to `^8`. All imports are now named, and they have been updated. This is a breaking change, in that support for `eth_signTransaction` is added in `^8.0.0`. We do not support this method in our UI, so our middleware stack has been instrumented to reject.
In addition, there are some non-breaking behavioral changes in this version that reviewers should be aware of, see the [7.0.0 release](https://github.com/MetaMask/eth-json-rpc-middleware/releases).
If the initial network when the extension is started is something other
than Mainnet, the swaps controller will never successfully retrieve
swap quotes. This is because the `ethers` provider used by the swaps
controller doesn't allow network changes by default - it assumes that
the network remains the same as when the provider was initialized.
This was fixed by hard-coding Mainnet as the initial chain ID for this
`ethers` provider used by the swaps controller.
Some adjustments needed to be made to the `provider` stub to allow
setting `1` as the network ID and chain ID in unit tests.
