THORChain Shards to 6 Asgard Vaults

Not long ago was history made when THORChain had its first shard resulting in 2 Asgard Vaults. Now there are 6.

THORChain recently  sharded from 3 Asgard Vaults to 6 successfully.

Not long ago was history made when THORChain had its first shard resulting in 2 Asgard Vaults. Now there are 6 and TSS(Threshold Signature Scheme) throughput has increased by 8x.

This is a major milestone.
Sharding is a type of partitioning in which a large Database is divided or partitioned into smaller data, also known as shards. These shards are not only smaller, but also faster and hence easily manageable.

Additionally, yggvaults are being deprecated, which sheds a large amount of code complexity.

Onwards!
