Fig 1: UUIDv7 bits layout.
All time-based UUIDs must guarantee monotonicity. According to the specification, UUIDv7 can guarantee monotonicity in the following ways:
- [When generating two or more UUIDs within one millisecond].
- Method 1: A fixed length counter of between 12 and 42 bits. Typically, the following versions are available:
- 12 bits
- 26 bits
- 42 bits
- Method 2: Monotonic random counter.
- [Must be unguessable] Increment is a random value with a length of 62 bits
- [May be guessable] Increment is fixed at one
- Method 3: Implementation convenient monotonic random
- Method 4: Fractional time field
- Without counter. Typically, the following versions are available:
- one microseconds precision: 12 bits
- one nanoseconds precision: 22 bits
- With counter. Typically, the following versions are available:
- one microseconds precision: 12 bits with 14 bits counter
- one nanoseconds precision: 22 bits with 8 bits counter
- Without counter. Typically, the following versions are available:
- Method 1: A fixed length counter of between 12 and 42 bits. Typically, the following versions are available:
- [When generating one or less UUIDs within one millisecond].
- Method 0: No counter
For systems that require multiple UUIDv7s within the same time period, since unix_ts_ms
is the same, Method 1, 2, 3 or 4 guarantees monotonicity for the subsequent bits.
Method 1 uses a fixed-length counter like UUIDv1 and UUIDv6.
In UUIDv7, not only rand_a
but also rand_b
can be used for the counter, which means that there is flexibility from 0 to 74 bits, but the specification recommends a range from 12 to 42 bits.
Furthermore, considering implementation, there are three bit lengths that make sense: 12, 26, and 42 bits.

Fig 4: UUIDv7 bits layout of Method 1, 42 bits counter field.
In Method 1, if unix_ts_ms
does not change, the counter increments the previous value by one.
When unix_ts_ms
changes, the counter is reset.
It is important to note that the counter SHOULD be reset using a pseudo-random value, not zero.
This is to ensure ease of guessing.
Method 2 uses a random number field with guaranteed monotonicity.

Fig 5: UUIDv7 bits layout of Method 2, 62 bits incrementable field.
monotonicity_random
is a special counter.
Similar to Method 1, it uses a pseudo-random value for resetting.
However, the increment value is not one, but a pseudo-random value.
To prevent frequent rollovers, this increment value generates a pseudo-random number with a bit length somewhat smaller than monotonicity_random
.
The specification does not mention the bit length of monotonicity_random
, so implementers are free to decide it.
In Fig 5, all rand_b
bits are assigned to incrementable fields.
Note: The increment value MAY be a fixed value of 1 if unguessability is not required.
This design is similar to the ULID specification.
ULID also stores UNIX milliseconds in the most significant 48 bits. The following 80 bits are a monotonicity random counter with an increment value of one.
UUIDv7 of Method 2, which has an increment value of one, is compatible with ULID, although the six bits of ver
and var
limit the number of bits that can be used for the counter to 74.
Method 3 is a method of re-generating pseudo-random numbers until monotonicity is satisfied. When the created pseudo-random number value is the same as or lower than the previous value, new pseudo-random number value is created. The process is repeated until the desired pseudo-random number value is generated.
Although Method 3 does not mention bit lengths explicitly, a straightforward interpretation would suggest that the procedure outlined above applies to the 74 bit pseudo-random value.

Fig 6: UUIDv7 bits layout of Method 3
Method 4 extends the time field.
Following unix_ts_ms
, which stores time in milliseconds, it can store time values with a precision of less than one millisecond.
The specification does not specify how much precision less than one millisecond is required or how many bits are used for storage. In actual use cases, the precision may be either one microsecond or one nanosecond. At least 10 bits are needed to represent everything when one microsecond is used, and 20 bits are needed when one nanosecond is used. If the field boundary is to be 4 bits while honoring the bit lengths of the other fields, 12 bits should be selected for one microsecond increments and 22 bits for one nanosecond increments.

Method 4 can also have an additional counter. The bit length of the counter is also not specified in the specification. The old specification draft-peabody-dispatch-new-uuid-format-02 had a counter of 14 bits for 1 microseconds, and an eight bit counter for 1 nanosecond.

By the way, if your system requires only one UUIDv7 at the same time, unix_ts_ms
guarantees monotonicity, so you don't need to do any tricks. Since rand_a
and rand_b
need not be guessable, pseudo-random values can be applied.
I call this Method 0.

Fig 11: UUIDv7 bits layout of Method 0.
Note: "Method 0" is a name I gave for convenience, not something mentioned in the specification. It is a dialectal term.
The difference from Method 2 and 4 is that random
does nothing to guarantee monotonicity.
Since a pseudo-random value is set each time a UUID is generated, the next value may increase, decrease, or remain the same.
Note: The advantage of Method 0 is that it is stateless and the overall tendency is to expect monotonicity. While other methods require the last generated UUID to be retained as state, Method 0 does not, simplifying implementation. Method 0 does not guarantee perfect monotonicity when multiple UUIDs are generated within one millisecond. When strict monotonicity is not required, however, UUIDv7 in Method 0 will perform well compared to UUIDv1 or UUIDv4.
