About

CUID2 is the second version of CUID, providing improved collision resistance and performance. It's designed for distributed systems and maintains the same URL-safe, sortable properties as CUID but with enhanced security and better performance characteristics. CUID2 uses a more efficient algorithm, better randomness sources, and improved timestamp encoding. It's the recommended version for new applications requiring CUID-style identifiers.

Use Cases

  • •Modern distributed systems
  • •High-performance applications
  • •Database primary keys with sorting
  • •Systems requiring strong collision resistance
  • •Applications needing better performance than CUID v1
  • •New projects requiring CUID-style IDs
