No, DNS is not decentralized. There is a trust issue with decentralizing DNS. The way it works right now, you send your DNS query to a trusted nameserver like Google (8.8.8.8) or Cloudflare (1.1.1.1), and trust that the nameserver returns a correct DNS record. To decentralize this, you would need a way to verify that the DNS records are valid, and not directing you to a malicious phishing site or something like that.
