Savers is available for any Layer 1 gas asset pool and TOR anchor pool, now including BNB on BNB Smart Chain. When BEP-20 stablecoins are added to the TOR Anchor pool list, they will be immediately available for Savers. Note that Protocol Owned Liquidity has not been activated for any chains other than BTC and ETH, so capacity is limited by total dual-liquidity in the BNB pool.
