+When you are sure all the binaries and docker images work as expected, you can proceed to publish the release. To do so, edit the last pre-release with the following changes:
+- Change the name to `ethrex: vX.Y.Z`
+- Change the tag to a new one `vX.Y.Z`. **IMPORTANT**: Make sure to select the `release/vX.Y.Z` branch when changing the tag.
+- Set the release as the latest release (you will need to uncheck the pre-release first).

+Once done, the CI will publish new tags for the already compiled docker images:
+- `ghcr.io/lambdaclass/ethrex:X.Y.Z`, `ghcr.io/lambdaclass/ethrex:latest`
