Storage does not usually collapse under load though.
It slips when the system changes shape.
Epoch boundaries. Validator turnover. A handoff nobody owns cleanly. That is where coordination work shows up, not as failure...but as friction people start compensating for.
Walrus keeps that coordination on-chain while the data itself stays distributed. The edge cases dont disappear... they just stop bubbling up into every other layer thoug.
Less stitching.
Less "who’s responsible for this now?"
Those are the moments that decide whether infrastructure holds together or quietly erodes.
