Public Works review
A focused toolkit for deploying mint-seeded generative collections on Stargaze.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Sep 2026
Public Works is a browser-based tool for artists and developers creating generative NFT collections that produce artwork when collectors mint. Creators bundle a website-based work and its assets—including code, fonts, and media—then configure and deploy the collection on Stargaze. Artwork can use canvas or WebGL rendering, and mint transaction hashes seed the generation process. That makes the product a fit for programmable multimedia projects rather than a general-purpose NFT creator or a tool for collections on multiple chains.
Its main distinction is the connection between minting and the artwork itself. An in-browser sandbox lets creators test their work against mint hashes before deployment, while creator-generated traits can be extracted into NFT metadata. The work is uploaded as a zipped website to IPFS, supporting assets such as JavaScript, CSS, fonts, and media. Artists with code-based work can therefore keep the generation logic and related assets together; creators looking for a no-code minting flow may find the workflow less suitable.
The software is free, but the published documentation specifies a 1,000-star deployment charge and a 15% share of mint fees for Public Works. Collection size must be greater than 1 and less than 10,000, so the documented range is 2 to 9,999 items. Stargaze is the only supported blockchain, and support is through the community. Choose Public Works if the collection is intended for Stargaze and relies on generative artwork tied to mint hashes. Look elsewhere if you need another blockchain, no-code minting, or a broader collection platform.
Public Works pros and cons
- Where it wins
- Uses mint transaction hashes to seed artwork generated at mint time
- Packages website-based work and uploads it to IPFS
- Extracts creator-generated traits into NFT metadata
- Where it doesn't
- Supports Stargaze only
- Collections must contain between 2 and 9,999 items
- Deployment costs 1,000 stars, and Public Works takes 15% of mint fees
