# Cooldowns Cooldowns refer to a waiting period that participants must observe between certain actions or events. This can help manage platform activity, ensure fair participation, and prevent abuse of the system. * Cooldown periods may be introduced between consecutive participations in public events to ensure fair access for all users. While cooldowns are not currently in place, they are a potential feature that may be introduced to enhance the fairness and integrity of the HeadStarter platform. Stay tuned for updates on this and other upcoming features. --- # 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.
