The end result will be a reusable image that anyone can deploy or which could be used as the basis for a new weblet.”

+Not sure what a solution provider is? A solution provider offers a solution on the ThreeFold Grid and receives 50% of the TFT utilization revenues from the workload related to the solution. You can dig further into this topic and how to become a solution provider [here](https://forum.threefold.io/t/threefold-solution-provider-and-sales-channel/3746).
+
+<br/>
+
+_We highly encourage those in the community who are building solutions on top of ThreeFold to [apply to become a solution provider](https://forum.threefold.io/c/dao/solution-provider-proposals/115)!_
