Paxos Issuer Quotes API

Issuer Quotes are "held rates" offered by Paxos to mint or redeem Paxos-issued assets at a specific price within a period of time - for example, the option to buy PAXG within the next 5 seconds for $3,000. The typical Issuer Quotes workflow is as follows: 1. Call [Create Issuer Quote](#operation/CreateIssuerQuote) to get a quote for the asset you want to mint or redeem to a specific profile. 1. Call [Create Issuer Quote Execution](#operation/CreateIssuerQuoteExecution) with the quote ID and profile ID. You can call [List Issuer Quote Executions](#operation/ListIssuerQuoteExecutions) to review or construct reports on issuer quote execution activity.
