Blackbox Tests were not failing on sepolia, could you double check old logs for it. and run tests with above change. thanks

[Muhammad-Altabba]

Thanks @jdevcs , yes tests where not failing for sepolia. But I thought to use an address that would never cause the tests to fail in the future as a precaution. Or what do you think?
And yes, I run the tests and they all run with success here: https://github.com/web3/web3.js/actions/runs/7419127171/job/20188191757?pr=6689
Thanks,
