+#### Building and publishing `zilliqa-js`
+
+To publish the `zilliqa-js` packages, you can use the provided Dockerfile to ensure a consistent build environment.
+
+First, build the Docker image:
+
+```sh
+docker build -t zilliqa_js_publish -f build_and_publish.Dockerfile .
+```
+
+Then, run the container in interactive mode:
+
+```sh
+docker run --rm -it zilliqa_js_publish sh
+```
+
+Finally, from within the container's shell, publish the packages using `pnpm`. First run it with `--dry-run` to test publish without publishing anything.
+
+```sh
+pnpm publish --dry-run
+```
+
+If everything looks correct then run
+
+```sh
+pnpm publish
+```
