If you lose your private key as an e-Resident, you go to the embassy to revoke it and get a new one. The state as a root authority is convenient in that sense.

If you lose your private key as an e-Resident, you go to the embassy to revoke it and get a new one. The state as a root authority is convenient in that sense. You can imagine, for example, that your tokens would be owned by a smart contract controlled by your e-Residency, so that as long as you can present a currently valid e-Residency, you can access the tokens. Presumably you could also transfer those tokens to a non-e-Residency address, and forfeit the convenience of the state identity.
