 ### Improvements
 
+* (cli) [#16856](https://github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk/pull/16856) Improve `simd prune` UX by using the app default home directory and set pruning method as first variable argument (defaults to default). `pruning.PruningCmd` rest unchanged for API compability, use `pruning.Cmd` instead.
 * (deps) [#16553](https://github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk/pull/16553) Bump CometBFT to [v0.34.29](https://github.com/cometbft/cometbft/blob/v0.34.29/CHANGELOG.md#v03429).
