Is aerodrome Finance a dex?

Excuse me, could you clarify something for me? I've come across the term "aerodrome Finance" and I'm wondering if it's a decentralized exchange, or a DEX for short. Now, I understand that DEXs are platforms where users can trade cryptocurrencies directly with each other, without an intermediary like a traditional exchange. Is aerodrome Finance indeed a DEX, or is it something entirely different? I'd appreciate it if you could shed some light on this for me.
