Hello dYdX Community,

We want to announce that the dYdX Chain Protocol v4.1.0 Upgrade proposal is [live](https://www.mintscan.io/dydx/proposals/53).

> [@\[DRC\] dYdX Chain Protocol v4.1.0 Upgrade](https://dydx.forum/t/drc-dydx-chain-protocol-v4-1-0-upgrade/2616/1):
>
> # Specification:
> 
> Detailed information about the v4.1.0 features can be found in the ([release notes](https://github.com/dydxprotocol/v4-chain/releases/tag/protocol%2Fv4.1.0)). This upgrade includes state-breaking changes and requires a [software upgrade governance proposal](https://docs.dydx.community/dydx-token-migration/dydx-chain-modules-and-parameters/governance#software-upgrade-proposals).
> 
> Key updates include:
> 
> - Skip collateralization check for untriggered conditional orders: [PR #1107](https://github.com/dydxprotocol/v4-chain/pull/1107)
> - Deprecate the pessimistic add-to-order book collateralization check: [PR #1377](https://github.com/dydxprotocol/v4-chain/pull/1377)

- Proposal link - [**Mintscan**](https://www.mintscan.io/dydx/proposals/53)

- Proposed Block Height - [**14404200**](https://www.mintscan.io/dydx/block/14404200)

To better prepare for unforeseen circumstances, after a successful vote outcome, we plan to:

1. Provide more insights and extra steps.
2. Work with providers to have pre-upgrade block snapshots ready.
3. Be more proactive in communications and announcements during the pre-upgrade phase.
4. Provide clarity to users about what to expect after a successful upgrade close to the upgrade (eg: not trading for 20 blocks, inability to close positions, etc…)

Please share your opinion and any doubts you might have below.

We encourage every dYdX community member to participate in the voting process actively. Your support is invaluable as we continue to innovate and enhance the dYdX Chain.

Thank you for your continued support and active participation.
