 * `"hardfork"`: `String` Allows users to specify which hardfork should be used. Supported hardforks are `byzantium`, `constantinople`, `petersburg` (default), and `istanbul` (beta).
 * `"allowUnlimitedContractSize"`: `boolean` - Allows unlimited contract sizes while debugging (NOTE: this setting is often used in conjuction with an increased `gasLimit`). By setting this to `true`, the check within the EVM for contract size limit of 24KB (see [EIP-170](https://git.io/vxZkK)) is bypassed. Setting this to `true` **will** cause `ganache-core` to behave differently than production environments. (default: `false`; **ONLY** set to `true` during debugging).
 * `"gasPrice"`: `String::hex` Sets the default gas price for transactions if not otherwise specified. Must be specified as a `hex` encoded string in `wei`. Defaults to `"0x77359400"` (2 `gwei`).
-* `"gasLimit"`: `String::hex` Sets the block gas limit. Must be specified as a `hex` string. Defaults to `"0x6691b7"`.
+* `"gasLimit"`: `String::hex | number` Sets the block gas limit. Must be specified as a `hex` string or `number`(integer). Defaults to `"0x6691b7"`.
 * `"callGasLimit"`: `number` Sets the transaction gas limit for `eth_call` and `eth_estimateGas` calls. Must be specified as a `hex` string. Defaults to `"0x1fffffffffffff"` (`Number.MAX_SAFE_INTEGER`).
 * `"keepAliveTimeout"`:  `number` If using `.server()` - Sets the HTTP server's `keepAliveTimeout` in milliseconds. See the [NodeJS HTTP docs](https://nodejs.org/api/http.html#http_server_keepalivetimeout) for details. `5000` by default.
