You mean a list of distributed exchanges.

Its like a list of all the small shop money exchanges that exists. But it doesn't mean its decentralized. It also means you always need a trusted third party for the exchange.

Wasn't crypto about going rid of those trusted third parties?

No, I mean actual decentralized exchanges. They are applications running on the blockchain. There is no owner, no physical location, no entity controlling access. All you need to do is have a crypto wallet and execute the contracts.
