What is a Snowflake?
Discord uses "snowflakes" as unique 64-bit identifiers for resources like users, guilds, channels, and messages. Each snowflake contains:
- Timestamp: When the ID was created (milliseconds since Discord epoch)
- Worker ID: The Discord worker that generated the ID (0-31)
- Process ID: The Discord process that generated the ID (0-31)
- Increment: A counter for IDs generated in the same millisecond (0-4095)
Discord Epoch: January 1, 2015 00:00:00 UTC
Frequently Asked Questions
What can I learn from a Discord snowflake?
From a snowflake ID, you can determine exactly when an account, server, channel, or message was created, which Discord worker generated it, and how many other IDs were created in the same millisecond.
How old are the oldest Discord accounts?
The oldest Discord accounts date back to early 2015 when Discord was first launched. Account IDs starting with low numbers like 53905 or 82198 are from Discord's earliest days.
Can I fake or modify snowflake IDs?
No, snowflake IDs are generated by Discord's servers and cannot be modified. They're cryptographically secure and serve as permanent, unique identifiers that cannot be forged.
Why does Discord use snowflakes instead of simple numbers?
Snowflakes allow Discord to generate millions of unique IDs across multiple servers without conflicts, while embedding useful metadata like creation time directly in the ID.
What do the worker and process IDs tell me?
Worker and Process IDs indicate which Discord server cluster and process generated the ID. IDs with worker/process 0 are often from high-priority or core Discord systems.
