# Response: Block Transactions ("blocktxn")

Transmits a group of transactions from a block to a peer.

A `blocktxn` message is sent in response to a [`getblocktxn`](/protocol/network/messages/getblocktxn) message, and must include exactly the set of transactions requested, in the order requested (i.e. in the order they appear in the block).
