# Request: Get Xthin Block ("get_xthin")
|
|
|
|
Request the [`xthinblock`](xthinblock) from the peer that was anoounced via the previous [`inv`](/protocol/network/messages/inv) message.
|
|
The message should start with an inventory message that indicates the `xthinblock` requested, followed by the Bloom filter generated from the mempool.
|
|
Upon receipt of this request, the peer should loads the attached Bloom filter, creates and responds with `xthinblock`.
|
|
If the `xthinblock` cannot be created without hash collisions, the peer may respond with `thinblock` or full blocks.
