wrong serialization of bigint when using getLastLog.

[vekexasia]

Expected behavior

Typescript allows blocknumbers to be passed as bigint. but it's not properly taken into account.

Actual behavior

Do not know how to serialize a BigInt

Steps to reproduce the behavior

 const web3 = new Web3(process.env.WS_ADDRESS!);
  const logs = await web3.eth.getPastLogs({
    fromBlock: 17486201n,
    toBlock: 17486201n,

  });

  console.log(logs);

Logs
