We recently announced Proxy mode support in TLSNotary as a faster zkTLS protocol and discussed the trust and security assumptions. In this post we bring the benchmark results.

We ran the benchmark harness across the same network profiles, sweeps, and payload sizes that anchored our August 2025 and alpha.14 posts, in both native and browser builds, and added Proxy mode side-by-side with MPC mode. The headline finding lives below; the rest of the post is about when each mode is the right choice, because faster is not always better. A full alpha.14-vs-alpha.15 comparison is coming with the alpha.15 release post; this post is the mode comparison only.

Today we're introducing proxy mode: a fast, lightweight way to prove the authenticity of web data using TLSNotary. It complements our existing MPC-TLS approach, giving developers a choice between maximum security and maximum speed, and you can switch between the two with a simple toggle.
