As explained in #311, the field
totalDifficultywas removed from the official Ethereum JSON RPC Block schema in ethereum/execution-apis#570, leading to inconsistent answers between providers when calling the EVM RPC canister witheth_getBlockByNumber. This seems to affect all blocks and not only post-merge blocks.As a workaround, the EVM RPC canister no longer deserializes the field
totalDifficultyin the provider's JSON response and set the Candid returned value forevm_rpc_types::Block::totalDifficultyalways toNoneto be backwards-compatible.
