Venmo Co-Founder Partners with Solo to Bring ID-Free Proof-of-Personhood to JellyJelly

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