Seems to me like streaming from decentralized source. But could be just having to download games through it, instead of having one huge server, I guess.

Having read multiple articles on the topic - information is vague at best all over the place. Personally, I think it's bad news overall.
Here is an example of a more or less decent article.
I think in reality, this all will fall down to more gambling / tick boxes in game such as "use your PC resources to generate Call of FortLeagueField Coin which you can spend on amazing skins e.t.c.".
I highly doubt anyone will use this for improvement of security / reliability / performance / distribution of resources. Most likely outcome and goal of all this will be - monetization.
