# Time Switch Similar to how Uniswap v3 has a *Fee Switch*, Flashstake has a *Time Switch*. Each time someone uses the protocol by [minting new TBTs](/time-based-tokens-tbts/minting-tbts-staking.md), a 0-20% *Time Fee* is taken and sent to the Flash Capacitor. ### Example * If the protocol has a 5% Time Fee and... * A user stakes 100 ETH for 1 year which generates 100 ETH [TBT ](/time-based-tokens-tbts.md) * 5 ETH TBT goes to the [Flash Capacitor](/tokenomics-flash/flash-capacitor.md) * 95 ETH TBT goes to the Flashstaker to be instantly redeemed for yield by [burning](/time-based-tokens-tbts/burning-tbts-flashburn.md) or [swapping](/time-based-tokens-tbts/swapping-tbts.md) ### **Current Fee** The Time Fee is currently set to 5% on all networks. ### **Time Fee Details** The only way to remove Time Fees from the Flash Capacitor is by depositing [FLASH](/tokenomics-flash.md) tokens. The deposited FLASH tokens are sent to the [Flashstake Treasury](/tokenomics-flash/flashstake-treasury.md), further reducing the circulating supply and providing necessary capital for continuous development. {% hint style="info" %} Note: the 0-20% Time Fee is set by the Flashstake Protocol's [setMintFeeInfo](/smart-contracts/flashstake-protocol/methods.md#set-mint-fee-info). {% endhint %} --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
