/// @param paymentToken payment token
/// @param paymentTokenAmount amount of payment token to spend
/// @param receiver recipient
/// @return usdPlusAmount amount of USD+ minted
function deposit(IERC20 paymentToken, uint256 paymentTokenAmount, address receiver)
    external
    returns (uint256 usdPlusAmount);

Redeeming USD+

To redeem USD+ for an approved payment token, submit a redemption request to the UsdPlusRedeemer contract. When the request is created, USD+ will be pulled from your account and escrowed on the UsdPlusRedeemer contract until the request is filled or cancelled. USD+ is always treated as equal to 1 USD. Currently USDC is accepted at 1-to-1 exchange rate for USD+.

Your request may take from 0 to 3 days to complete depending on the size and available liquidity. When the request is submitted, the exchange rate is locked. When the request is filled, it will use the amounts created at request time.

There are two methods available for redeeming USD+. They return a ticket number that can be used to check the status of the request.
