In a world where money moves faster than truth, one young coder tries to change the rules.
Ayotunde “Ayo” Salako builds an app called Compound 19 — a secret crypto network meant to give people freedom from banks, borders, and government control. But what starts as a dream of freedom quickly turns into a nightmare.
Criminals, cartels, and terrorists hijack his creation to move money, weapons, and people. The same code built to empower the world begins to destroy it.
Now hunted by the same forces using his app, Ayo must choose — protect himself or stop the chaos he helped unleash.
Compound 19 is a fast-paced story about ambition, power, and the price of playing god in a digital world that never forgets.
