Solo’s SDK ensures that each JellyJelly account is a real, unique person, after the Solo AI client has submitted a CAPTCHA on 50+ Discord servers.
San Francisco, United States, November 13th, 2026 – Singlea private-label software-security company, is bringing its software development kit (SDK) to JellyJelly. The social video app runs on Solana and was founded by Venmo co-founder Iqram Magdon-Ismail. Login allows JellyJelly to verify that every account is a real, unique person, with no government IDs or puzzles to solve.
Magdon-Ismail is the founder and CEO of JellyJelly and an advisor to Solo. He developed the SDK after the installation, creating its architecture and the appearance of new users on it.
The move comes as AI agents learn to pass tests to stop them. In an experiment conducted by Solo, an AI agent named Gary joined 50 Discord servers in one night and sent 500 messages. No one identified as an AI agent.
Gary has two tips: submit each CAPTCHA challenge and agree to the terms of service. He did it just by browsing and clicking, without any custom actions.
Solo reads the result as weak in CAPTCHA. Challenges test whether the guest can solve puzzles, and powerful AI agents can solve similar puzzles. Complex tests add friction for legitimate users, but rarely reveal who is behind an account.
“CAPTCHA was built on the idea that humans can do things that robots can’t. It’s more about the idea that AI agents can search, read and solve challenges like humans,” said Edison Siu, Solo’s founder and CEO. “Our approach is to verify people directly. Platforms need to know they’re dealing with a real person. Users don’t have to submit other puzzles or upload identity documents to prove it.”
JellyJelly allows users to share short videos and send cryptocurrency payments to each other. The rise of video feeds and automated accounts has made it even easier for social media platforms to understand who is behind each account. Solo’s SDK brings human verification to that point. It helps the platform tell about real users from automatic accounts and prevents a single person from registering multiple verified identities.
The process starts with a face scan from the smartphone camera. Solo converts the scan into a biometric and encrypts it on the device using homomorphic encryption (FHE). This type of encryption allows the system to operate on the data without decrypting it. Solo uses this to compare the encrypted signal to existing records, so the matching event does not detect the underlying data.
Users do not need a special device or government-issued ID. Unprocessed facial images. Apps that use the SDK receive an authentication result and do not access anyone’s biographical information.
The SDK itself can be added to gaming platforms, payment services and other applications that need to prevent duplicate accounts or exclude real users from automation.
Solo is backed by Draper Associates, the investment firm founded by Tim Draper. Draper Associates led $1 million in the company in March 2025. Solo was also selected for cohort 5 of the Solana Incubator.
Solo’s personal verification technology is still alive. The company is now working on tools that allow authenticated users to authenticate their own AI agents, so marketers and online platforms can confirm that there is a real, unique person behind each one. Solo also envisions AI customers and AI companies being able to hire certified humans for tasks that only humans can do.
Magdon-Ismail, who co-founded Venmo and helped develop its peer-to-peer payment system, advises Solo on how people and their AI agents can and do pay.
“Venmo made it easy to hire a friend,” Magdon-Ismail said. “The next step is to have your AI agent pay you. The business receiving that payment needs to know that it’s a real person who authorized it. I’m working with Solo to make it easy for everyone involved.”
For Solo
Solo develops human-identification technologies that allow online platforms to verify that a user is a genuine and unique person, without questioning who that person is. Its software-based system uses full homomorphic encryption to compare the encrypted biometric data, and the partners receive the confirmed result instead of the raw biometric data. Solo provides an SDK for web and mobile applications. The company is backed by Draper Associates and was selected for the Solana Incubator cohort 5. Its first product, SoloMission, allows AI agents to collect feedback from authorized humans.
