 ### API Breaking Changes
 
+* [\#10077](https://github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk/pull/10077) Remove telemetry on `GasKV` and `CacheKV` store Get/Set operations, significantly improving their performance.
 * [\#10022](https://github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk/pull/10022) `AuthKeeper` interface in `x/auth` now includes a function `HasAccount`.
 * [\#9759](https://github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk/pull/9759) `NewAccountKeeeper` in `x/auth` now takes an additional `bech32Prefix` argument that represents `sdk.Bech32MainPrefix`.
 * [\#9628](https://github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk/pull/9628) Rename `x/{mod}/legacy` to `x/{mod}/migrations`.
