Additional important note: In the next versions, we will make significant changes to the plugin, 2 of the most important:

1. Removing all the logic (API-s) regarding interaction with Starknet from the Plugin, and relying on Starknet.js ! Meaning, the plugin will work similarly as Hardhat itself works (relies on Ethers.js)
2. Introducing the Rust devnet instead of the Pythonic one, which should speed up the tests
