# Upcoming Ethereum breaking change may impact Splits with more than 400 recipients

[_Splits Teams_](https://splits.org/teams/) _are unaffected._

[Fusaka](https://forkcast.org/upgrade/fusaka/) will likely include [EIP-7825](https://forkcast.org/upgrade/fusaka/#eip-7825), introducing a per-transaction gas cap of 16,777,216. Base will enforce this cap starting [September 17](https://docs.base.org/base-chain/network-information/block-building#per-transaction-gas-maximum), with other EVM-equivalent L1s and L2s expected to follow.

Distributions from large Splits that exceed the new cap will fail. For immutable Splits, this means funds could become permanently locked in the contract.

If you expect to be affected, please reach out so we can help you prepare.
