+## Release Readiness Tracking
+
+> _Node Release_
+
+- [ ] All changes have passed peer-review. < link PR >
+- [ ] `pop-node` crate version has been updated.
+- [ ] The new binary is able to sync the live network and peers with other active nodes, logs are healthy.
+- [ ] One collator runs with the new binary, syncs the network and peers with other nodes, produces blocks and logs are healthy.
+
+> _Runtime Release_
+
+- [ ] All changes have passed peer-review. < link PR >
+- [ ] Update runtime crate version. Note that `pop-runtime-devnet` is usually not updated.
+- [ ] Runtime spec version is updated.
+- [ ] If needed, new benchmarks have been run. A diff between the new weights and the current ones has been reviewed.
+    - [`substrate-weight-compare`](https://github.com/ggwpez/substrate-weight-compare) can be used for this purpose.
+- [ ] Execution of [`try-runtime`](https://github.com/paritytech/try-runtime-cli) doesn't point out any missing migrations or other items requiring action.
+
+
+
+## Testing Tracking
+
+- [ ] Local upgrade test runs as expected.
+
+1. Build the latest release.
+2. Launch a network using `pop up parachiain -f networks/testnet.toml -v`.
+    - `pop-node` version can be verified via: `rpc calls -> system -> version()`
+    - Runtime version can be verified via: `rpc calls -> state -> getRuntimeVersion()`
+
+
+> _Node release_
+
+3. Switch to the new release branch and rebuild.
+4. Kill the running `pop-node` process
+> For instance, on Mac one can look in Activity Monitor, find the `pop-node` process and force quit. The network will still be running, but without the collator so Pop Network might not be producing blocks.
+6. Run the new `pop-node` binary using the command prompted in step `2`, with the same specs that are prompted at step `2`.
+7. Verify that the new node is producing blocks.
+8. Verify running versions as needed.
+
+> _Runtime release_
+
+_The new runtime might need a certian `pop-node` version to be deployed first, if that is the case make sure you follow the above steps for a Node Release_
+
+3. Do a runtime upgrade using the new runtime release -- can be found in `./target/release/wbuild/pop-runtime-testnet/pop_runtime_testnet.compact.compressed.wasm`.
+4. Verify the runtime upgrade was successful:
+    - The runtime version should have changed.
+    - The corresponding migrations should have run.
+    - Pop Network is still producing blocks.
+
+
+- [ ] Successful execution of `try-runtime` .
+```
+cargo build --release --features=try-runtime -p <runtime-crate>
+try-runtime --runtime ./target/release/wbuild/pop-runtime-testnet/pop_runtime_testnet.compact.compressed.wasm on-runtime-upgrade live --uri wss://rpc3.paseo.popnetwork.xyz:443
+```
+
+- [ ] (Advised) Runtime upgrade on a local **fork** of Pop Network.
+
+_More instructions around using chopsticks for this can be found in [.chopsticks directory](../../.chopsticks)_
+
+1. Launch the local fork:
+```shell
+    npx @acala-network/chopsticks@latest xcm -r ./.chopsticks/paseo.yml -p ./.chopsticks/testnet.yml
+```
+2. Do a runtime upgrade using the new runtime release -- can be found in `./target/release/wbuild/pop-runtime-testnet/pop_runtime_testnet.compact.compressed.wasm`.
+3. Might be needed to trigger block production on Pop Network:
+```shell
+    websocat ws://localhost:8000
+    {"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":2,"method":"dev_newBlock","params":[{"count":20}]}
+```
+
+
+## Release
+
+> _Node release_
+
+- [ ] New node release has been created: e.g. https://github.com/r0gue-io/pop-node/releases/tag/node-v0.2.0-alpha
+    - Create a tag like `node-v<x.y.z>`.
+    - Point to the previous node release to create a proper diff.
+    - Provide a description and then release notes.
+
+> _Runtime release_
+
+- [ ] New runtime release has been created: e.g. https://github.com/r0gue-io/pop-node/releases/tag/runtime-v0.4.0-alpha
+    - Create a tag like `runtime-v<x.y.z>`.
+    - Point to the previous runtime release to create a proper diff.
+    - Provide a description and then release notes.
+
+- [ ] Create the authorization call data
+    - < Edit with authorized runtime call data >
