Purpose
Fixes an issue where the
getGasPriceOverrides
function returns a gas price that causes transactions to hang on polygon mainnet. This is due to an underlying bug in how Ethers interacts with Polygons implementation of EIP-1559. This issue has been natively resolved in Ethers v6, but migrating to the new Ethers version is non trivial so I've implemented a simple workaround. However, we should migrate to Ethers v6 when we have time for it as this workaround does not fully resolve the issue. This workaround simply makes it possible to send transactions on polygon using Ethers, but it's somewhat unreliable (I had to restart the core contract deployment process 3 times before it fully completed).
