 The canonical branches in this repo are based on CometBFT releases. For example: [`v0.34.x-celestia`](https://github.com/celestiaorg/celestia-core/tree/v0.34.x-celestia) is based on the CometBFT `v0.34.x` release branch and contains Celestia-specific changes.
 
+Usually PRs should target the `main` branch. After the PR merges to main, a maintainer may cherry-pick it to an existing release branch (e.g. [`v0.34.x-celestia`](https://github.com/celestiaorg/celestia-core/tree/v0.34.x-celestia)) and cut a new release.
