+      payload:

+#### Function definitions
+
+```yaml
+functions:
+  send:
+    description: "Send a message through the Waku network."
+    parameters:

+        type: SendMessage
+        description: "The message to send"
+    returns:
+      type: result<RequestId, error>
+```
+
+#### Extended definitions
+
+When `message` is sent with `contentTopic` for a first time,
+the node SHOULD trigger a subscription based on `Subscribe to messages` section.
+
+Additionally, the node SHOULD initiate recurring [STORE](https://github.com/vacp2p/rfc-index/blob/main/waku/standards/core/13/store.md) queries
+to validate if sent message was stored on the network and `static_store_nodes` SHOULD be prioritised.

 ## The Validation API
 
 [WAKU2-RLN-RELAY](https://github.com/vacp2p/rfc-index/blob/main/waku/standards/core/17/rln-relay.md) is currently the primary message validation mechanism in place.
