The ULID spec says:

  • 128-bit compatibility with UUID
  • 48 bit integer
  • 80 bits randomness

While an arbitrary 128-bit ULID is not strictly compatible with UUID (because it doesn't set the version and variant bits correctly), it is the case that every UUIDv7 is a valid ULID (because they both use the same 48-bit Unix timestamp and we can ignore the six bits of "randomness" that aren't actually set randomly).

NGuid could provide a method to format a UUIDv7 as a ULID string for interoperability between the two systems.
