Important upgrade notes:
Validators are strongly advised to manually download and stage the target binary from the GitHub release page: https://github.com/dydxprotocol/v4-chain/releases/tag/protocol%2Fv8.1.0
Cosmovisor's auto-download feature will not work correctly because the "info" section of the upgrade proposal links to a wrong version.
