Understand

The Swampland Distance Conjecture states that at infinite distance in the scalar moduli space an infinite tower of particles become exponentially massless.

We study this issue in the context of 4d type IIA and type IIB Calabi-Yau compactifications.
We find that for large moduli not only towers of particles but also domain walls and strings become tensionless.
We study in detail the case of type IIA and IIB ${\cal N}=1$ CY orientifolds and show how for infinite K\"ahler and/or complex structure moduli towers of domain walls and strings become tensionless, depending on the particular direction in moduli space.
