# Time Vault Strategies (TVS)

<mark style="color:purple;">**Time Vault Strategies**</mark> are custom smart contracts that help people buy, sell, and earn *TBTs.*

With a nearly endless amount of possibilities, Time Vaults have the flexibility to make important Flashstaking decisions. Ultimately, Time Vault Strategies is where the complex logic of a Flashstake occurs.&#x20;

* What is the name of the Time Vault?
* What token can be staked?
* What is the source of the yield?
* What is the name of the TBT?
* How much TBT is minted?
* What is the minimum stake duration?
* What is the maximum stake duration?
* Is there a fee taken during the Flashstake?
* If so, what is that fee and where does it go?

Strategies can be developed and deployed against the Flash Protocol by **anyone**. This gives Strategy creators maximum flexibility when it comes to internal logic. This also means that interaction with a third party strategy could result in a total loss of funds.

Flash Strategies are isolated from one another which ensures funds are always isolated.
