Storage sharding and indexing help avoid bottlenecks by splitting large objects into smaller, more manageable ones. Instead of cramming everything into a single shared object (which forces consensus overhead), you shard storage into multiple objects. For example, in an NFT collection, a **Root Collection** acts as the anchor, while each NFT is stored as its own object via **dynamic fields**. This way, retrieving an NFT by ID is direct and efficient, without scanning a huge list. **Trade-offs:** * **Fine-grained objects** = better scalability, but more objects to manage. * **Coarse-grained objects** = simpler design, but slower as they grow. In practice, sharding ensures apps stay fast even with thousands or millions of entries.
