dYdX Chain halts production following scheduled network upgrade
The issue continues to be investigated. It's been agreed to reconvene with the validators around 15:00 UTC. This means that the devs won't suggest a workaround or a fix until then so that the validators won't get jailed for not being online when the chain restarts
dYdX also confirmed that the chain encountered an issue and said at 6:50 UTC that their team was already debugging it. However, the team said the issue is still being investigated and might not be resolved until later. They wrote:

The protocol upgrade was proposed on Feb. 21 and included advancements like order book features, risk and safety improvements and Cosmos-related enhancements.
The outage comes after a recent development in dYdX when the community approved the staking of 20 million tokens.
