Venmo co-founder teams up with Solo to bring ID-free real-person verification to JellyJelly

PANews November 10 news, Venmo co-founder and Solo advisor Iqram Magdon-Ismail has integrated Solo's real-person verification technology into JellyJelly, the Solana social short-video app he founded. Users can prove they are a real and unique individual without presenting a government ID or solving a CAPTCHA. During verification, users first scan their face with a phone camera; the scan results are processed on-device with fully homomorphic encryption (FHE) before comparison, and the system does not store the original facial image. Solo is backed by Draper Associates and was selected for the fifth cohort of the Solana Incubator; next it plans to develop AI agent authorization and payment features.
